Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I enabled framebuffer on the kernel (vesa-fb with 1280x1024 |
| 4 |
resolution) and I use this grub menu entry for framebuffer: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
kernel /bzImage-fb1280 root=/dev/hda8 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr |
| 7 |
vga=0x0317 splash=verbose,theme:Gentoo-Hornet |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
But everytime I boot there's a message that says the video mode is |
| 10 |
wrong and prompts me to choose from some menu entry of video modes or |
| 11 |
go straight to boot up. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Then after that brief 80x60(?) display gentoo proceeds to boot with |
| 14 |
1280x1024 reso (and the dmesg info scrolls up while tux sits on top |
| 15 |
of it... but sadly without using my splash theme :( ). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I was hoping to have a graphical background but it didn't happen. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
What else should I look into? |

I followed this howto http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash |

Thanks. |
