|
|
Hey!
Is it possible to have penguin logo at startup with Nvidia geforce4? I mean that cool penguin you get with radeon when using framebuffer.
I know that there exists framebuffer for riva/geforce but I had no luck with them |

I think you have to use the vesafb, i'm using it here with a gf2mx, works fine. |

Thanks for your help but unfortunately I didn't get it working with vesafb. Should I add something to grub config? |

you need to append a vga=<value> to your kernel statment.
where <value> is the resolution/bit depth you want to run:
640x480/8 = 769
640x480/15 = 784
640x480/16 = 785
640x480/24 = 786
800x600/8 = 771
800x600/15 = 787
800x600/16 = 788
800x600/24 = 789
1024x768/8 = 773
1024x768/15 = 790
1024x768/16 = 791
1024x768/24 = 792
so, to do 1024x768 @ 16-bit color do this in menu.lst (grub.conf):
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/<your root> vga=791
plus any other kernel option you may need to pass (ie. ide-scsi) |

Thank you very much for your help! Now the penguin is shown every time I boot my gentoo box |
