Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
Is there anyone on the list who has the following configured on their |
4 |
workstations? |
5 |
|
6 |
* bootsplash giving them a nice picture at the startup [ in runlevel |
7 |
boot] |
8 |
* bootsplash giving them a nice picture later [ in runlevel default] |
9 |
* Then X11 starting on their nvidia card configured with xf86 or |
10 |
xorg with X working in default runlevel |
11 |
* Switching back to consol with control-alt-F[n] and being able to |
12 |
work without locking up your box - and without framebuffer corruption. |
13 |
|
14 |
What I want to do is have my virtual consoles [alt-F1 through to alt-FN |
15 |
except for F7 of course] having individual pretty images on each of |
16 |
them, and X windows working at the same time. |
17 |
|
18 |
Is it even possible? |
19 |
|
20 |
If yes, then if you know anyone has everything working, I would be |
21 |
obliged to note the version numbers etc and any pointers. |
22 |
|
23 |
I have looked at the net [I must admit, not in the last two weeks |
24 |
though] and was baffled by the following. |
25 |
|
26 |
- framebuffer corruption just wouldn't go away. |
27 |
- machine lockups |
28 |
- many a times, no errors but the framebuffer image still wouldn't show |
29 |
up at the startup |
30 |
- not being clear about difference between gensplash and bootsplash |
31 |
[they seem to serve the same purpose] which one should I use on my |
32 |
system. Should I emerge one, or both or one of them and themes for both? |
33 |
[You can tell how confused I am]. |
34 |
|
35 |
I know this is long - so if you can take some patient time out for me, I |
36 |
would be very grateful. Else I could use any pointers/links given by you |
37 |
on my own time. |
38 |
|
39 |
Time to rebuild my box is close anyway - need to repartition whole thing |
40 |
to make more room for Oracle/Gentoo and MySQL/Gentoo. |
41 |
|
42 |
Best regards, |
43 |
