I'm also having this problem with gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.8-r7. Does anyone know what the problem might be? |

Bootsplash is no longer supported in gentoo-dev-sources > 2.6.8-r1
Now there is GENSPLASH support which is the same for the user, but works a bit different. (Bootsplash was a suse thing, and Gensplash is from the gentoo-developers).
Gentoo-dev-sources2.6.8-r1 are already patched with the fbsplash-patch which is needed for gensplash. Because of this the bootspalsh-patch wont work correctly
Gensplash works fine with me (gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r7)
A nice howto can be find here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
FOR ALL USER WHO USE NEW GENTOO-DEV-SOURCES AND CANT FIND BOOTSPALSH CONFIGURATION --> BOOTUP SPLASH SCREEN:
THIS IS NOT A BUG. BOOTSPLASH IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU HAVE TO USE GENSPLASH INSTEAD!!!!
HERE: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash
@Starter of the BOOTSPLASH-HOWTO Post: I would be good idea to write this information, on the first page of the post, so that nobody tries bootspalsh with a new gentoo-dev-source |

That will be why some of the options are missing then.

I've followed the instructions on the wiki, and very well writen they are too, but at the point where the screen should flick to the higher resolution I get nothing. The text just stops scrolling and then X starts up a little while later.
The relevent parts from the kernel config (using genkernel) are
| Quote: | [*] Support for frame buffer devices
<*> VESA VGA graphics suppor
VESA driver type (vesafb-tng)
(1024x768-16@85) VESA default mode
Console display driver support --->
[*] Video mode selection support
<*> Framebuffer Console support
[*] Support for the framebuffer splash |
I have the following in my grub.conf
| Quote: | title Gentoo-2.6.8 (+fb +splash 1280x1024)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda8 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-1
6@60 splash=verbose,theme:emergence
initrd /fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 |
Which looks OK to me, it's the same as the wiki, except for the partitions I use, and I dropped the colour depth & refresh rate to see if that made any difference..
For some reason it doesn't appear to be switching to the higher resolution. All this means that I can't drop out of X to install XOrg. I know I could disable the framebuffer for now, but that defeats te object  |

EDIT2: Argh, I suspect I found the problem - I downloaded the 2.6.9 patch - I have no such kernel! I'm on 2.6.8. I found the 2.6.8 patch for the fbsplash, and I suspect I can find the latest 2.6.8 patch for the vesafb... but is there a way to undo the patches I've already added? I'm new to this patch stuff - if it's a diff patch (man pages say something along those lines), it's not going to be likely to work if I simply apply the 2.6.8 patch on what I've got now. Probably my best option is to unmerge my kernel sources, rm -rf the directory, and emerge them back. Any other ideas? I'll hold off until I get home.
EDIT3: Whoa, the problem was worse than I thought - apparently the system forgot all my users existed (though they could log on). It didn't even know who root was. Said something about not knowing what user UID 0 corresponded to. Attempting to ssh to other machines produced this somewhat humorous, though immensely frustrating message: You don't exist, go away! Anyways, just finished installing again from stage 1, and got the appropriate patches installed this time to my kernel (no error messages this time). I even booted using vesatng. I'm still trying to figure out how to do the background imaging, but I haven't finished researching yet. Just figured I'd let people know that I'm not still in that same spot. _________________ Life without passion is death in disguise |

hey y'all,
so, i just emerged gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-r1 today, and (just like all the other ones) i don't get any fbsplash picture. the text is small, and i get the following on bootup:
| Code: | 12:56:29 Ukiyo-e Console: coulour VGA+ 80x25

12:56:29 Ukiyo-e fb0: VESA VGA frame buffer device |
then, later, it says
| Code: | | 12:56:29 Ukiyo-e RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid Ram disk image starting at 0. |
there are other things in between these notices, but they don't seem pertinent to the framebuffer.
i don't get why it isn't loading the image. it seems to say that it's detecting it, and loading it into memory. why isn't it getting displayed?
help?

I have been trying to set up a boot flash acording to the instructions on this
tutorial for quite a while, but witout succes.
My kernel is 2.6.9-gentoo-r1, but i don't think the problem is here, cause i
tried on others before, with the same result: framebuffer working fine, but no bootsplash
I have a compaq pressario notebook with a "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP
340M" (according to lspci). screen native resolution is 1400x1050.
i use something like
| Code: | | kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda10 video=radeonfb |
in grub.conf, my frame buffer works, and automaticaly finds the 1400x1050
resolution. if i try to say vga=0x31A (just to see), i get an error at boot
time saying that is is an incorect mode. i get this wether i use vesafb or
radeonfb.
i also tried
| Code: | | kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda10 video=radeonfb:1400x1050-16@60 | to
try to force it to 16 bit mode, but i don't know if it had any effect.
I gess the boottime output from the kernel might be usefull, especialy since i do think a few things are strange in there. I striped out some obvioulsy unrelated lines (usb / IDE / reiserfs/ keyboard....), to ease reading, but it is still quite verbose. Sorry, since i am not sure what to look for, i certainly left fat too much.

Well, i guess that's it. Any one got an idea?
Acording to the output, i guess my situation is similat to ExecutorElassus. I did post more kernel output than him, just in case the probleme is a side effect of something else, and also because i am just not quite sure of what is relevant and what is not. |

|
|
Hi, i've a problem setting up a pure console framebuffer with my 1280x800 Toshiba P10 widescreen notebook.
I'm using vesafb-tng and I get a 640x480 framebuffer without any bootparams.
| Code: |
t36c103 bernhard # fbset
mode "640x400-60"
# D: 19.382 MHz, H: 24.881 kHz, V: 59.954 Hz
geometry 640 400 640 26214 8
timings 51594 70 7 11 1 62 3
rgba 8/0,8/0,8/0,0/0
endmode
|
less /proc/fb0/modes shows me:
| Code: |
640x400-8
640x480-8
800x600-8
1024x768-8
320x200-16
320x200-32
640x480-16
640x480-32
800x600-16
800x600-32
1024x768-16
1024x768-32
320x200-8
320x400-8
320x400-16
320x400-32
320x240-8
320x240-16
320x240-32
640x400-16
640x400-32
1280x800-8
|
So, i'm trying the only available widescreen resolution:
| Code: |
fbset -g 1280 800 1280 800 8
|
And, yeah, it works! So, I try a boot paramter (in grub):
| Code: |
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.9-nitro3 root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb:1280x800-8
|
Reboot... Oh no! My screen freezes, but after a while X starts. But when I switch to a virtual console via Ctrl+Alt+F1 the screen still shows the first lines of the kernel boot.
So, what's going wrong? |

I am getting the same problems as other people with 2.6.9-r1, espeically stubbs.
I followed the guide to a T and it boots, I select my kernel from grub and the screen goes black, and I have a white cursor in the bottom left of my screen. It then brings up the kernel check process and not in the right resolution.
here is my dmesg:

I notice that when I grep for vesa, all it gives me is: Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr
which is from my grub.conf. Other people are showing all sorts of vesa responses in their dmesg.
Here is my grub.conf:
| Code: |
title=Gentoo GNU/Linux 1.4 (+fb +splash)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr
vga-0x317 splash=silent,theme:emergence
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768
|
the fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 file is there in my /boot dir. I have ALL the kernel options set correctly. I'd really like to get this up and running, spent quite a bit of time on it last night!
EDIT* I forgot to include I am on a Inspirion 600m with a Radeon 9000 card. I tried doing 1024x768 because I didn't know how well it would respond at 1400x1050, and I wanted to be safe, and as you can see, still doesn't work
I'm getting flashbacks of Gdesklets! |

so, like an idiot, i failed to read the note two posts up from me that i had to switch to splashutils... duh...
so i did that. NOW, when i boot, the same thing happens as before, with ONE exception: at the very end of the runlevel loading, right after eth0 is initialized, and just before the X server switches on, the runlevel loads 'splash,' and suddenly, for one agonizing second, i get a graphical console. AARGH!!
however, it's also using theme 'default,' not the 'AquaMatrix' theme i have specified in my grub.conf.
| Code: |
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9
root (hd1,4)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo root=/dev/sdb1
video=mtrr,vesafb:ywrap,1280x1024-16@70 splash=verbose
initrd (hd1,4)/initrd-1280x1024 |
the initrd file is there, as i specified in grub.conf, too. so: i KNOW it works, and i KNOW it can load a graphic file. but why won't it load the one i specified, and why only at the end of booting, when it loads splash?
here are some of the things i see when booting:

also, i should mention that i've even tried compiling the image directly into the kernel, with no luck. i still just get a black background, even though it's clearly at a high resolution.
help?

I tried to build an ck-kernel with bootsplash and patched the kernel. Aktivated/Deaktivated all the flags as mentioned in the howto, but when building the kernel it fails when compiling the bootsplash-part:
| Code: |

because it's an german system with german error-messages:

btw: kernel was patched useing "bootsplash_patch". When I try to repatch:

when i start my computer i have framebuffer support (small fonts) but there is no bootsplash image.
i followed the guide and did exactly the same, but my screen doesn't support a highter resolution then 800x600, so could that be the problem? i used a 800x600 config.
here is the message from /var/log/messages

|
|
What kind of performance can I expect from mplayer on the framebuffer as compared to X? I would prefer to not load X if I can avoid it.
Also, is there a guide on how to get mplayer working with the framebuffer? I'm getting some kind of crash of mplayer, but I don't have access to the machine right now to post the details. I've emerged aalib, svgalib, DirectFB and mplayer.
Thanks! |

Hopefully someone has an idea what's going wrong, I've tried about everything.
Using vesafb-tng everything looks fine but if I try to switch VTs between Xorg and vesa, it hard locks. With radeonfb, this works fine but I have no purple box or lines on the splash image (using gentoo theme), so it is unreadable.
This is with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r9 on a Radeon 9000 M9. I have a Dell 600m with an LCD that supports 1400x1050. I am using X.Org 6.8 with the radeon driver.
I'll try using a different resolution to see if that solves the problem tomorrow.
Does anyone else have any other ideas? _________________ Backup - The duplicate copy of crucial data that no one bothered to make; used only in the abstract.

I have the same question. I've finally got gensplash working with a framebuffer console and whatnot and it REALLY looks great! The 2004.0 splash screen looks kind of tacky though, and I can't find any information on how to change it (going through 50+ pages of threads isn't easy...). If anyone could point to a howto (or write one themselves!) on how to change the splashscreen and progress bar, it would be VERY much appreciated! =) |

I've been through a heck of an ordeal trying to get this up and running. The main problem has been using the radeon support during the make menuconfig...took that out and things are going much better.
However, i still can't get bootsplash working at 1280x1024...no matter what color depth. It boots and displays, but the colors are funny and the resolution seems off. It will work (looks great) on 800x600 and 1024x768, but the status bar for silent boot doesn't move. Any ideas?.
Unrelated, but i also can't get my usb kvm switch to work or mouse support in the console... |

I have an nvidia geforce fx 5700 ultra and I followed this how-to (and a few other threads I found) and I am still unable to get the framebuffer to work. My screen just goes blank - everything else works otherwise (I can login and reboot, I just cant see anything). I have been trying for hours, I had to of tried almost everything.
Any help at all would be great. Thanks in advance. |

good point
I am using kernel 2.6.10-r6. Ive tried the following boot params:

Here is my grub config for my latest kernel build (maybe this will help):
| Code: |
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.10-gentoo-r6
root (hd0,4)
kernel /kernel-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda6 init=/linuxrc splash=verbose,theme:emergence video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-24@75
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/fbsplash-emergence-1024x768 |
[EDIT]
I was going to say you do not have the configuration for splash however you did not mention splash.
I'm sorry if I was no help...
On second thought:
Since you are not running splash. It is possible that you have to compile fonts into you kernel so that text can be displayed in vesa mode.

No not necessarily... I have only seen a couple of your posts but I didn't see your grub.conf file. Also have you tried the gentoo-wiki instructions? Those are VERY good. You may want to follow those http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash |

I got this working on an AMD64 system using vesafb rather than vesafb-tng. Followed the wiki, but used the following for my grub config:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-r14
root (hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-r14 root=/dev/hda5 noapic video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x31A splash=verbose,theme:emergence
initrd /fbsplash-1280x1024 |
Works great, thanks! |
