Isn't it at the "Character Devices"? |

I am not at my machine right now, but I remember it there... |

Just a thought, I was able to use the manual configuration for |
| 5 |
framebuffer use, and then decided to try genkernel, I must admit it is |
| 6 |
so easy to use I'm not switching for a long time. Following the |
| 7 |
instructions at the Installation Manual, copied the config.gz with |
| 8 |
zcat, used it as configuration and: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
emerge splashutils |
| 11 |
genkernel --install --gensplash=yourtheme all |
