[gentoo-user] fbcondecor_helper howto

[Sebastian Günther]

Hi,

since Google does not spit out anything useful, nor any useful 
documentation is installed with splashutils, I hope someone here has
deeper knowledge of fbcondecor_helper.

I build my own initrd, based on this 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/SECURITY_System_Encryption_DM-Crypt_with_LUKS

I stripped down the init script for my needs and added some 
functionality not provided there(LVM within the encrypted partition). So
far, so good.

But now I wanted to add a moving progress bar to the splash, and I 
simply don't know howto achieve this goal.

I've been able to change the text shown on the status line via this 
command, stolen from the HowTo:
splash_message() {
        local msg="${1}";
        BOOT_MSG="${msg}" fbcondecor_helper 2 'repaint'
}

So how do I use fbcondecor_helper to step the progress bar?

Greetings
Sebastian
