trying to use gensplash/splashutils, followed wiki, they work great, but when i startx then try to go back to console via exiting out of my wm's session or ctrl alt f1'ing my screen flickers like 4 times and it just stays black, if i type startx + enter i can get back into a X session, but i cant get back into the console, what is going on here?

Hi,
there is this hint in the gensplash wiki:
| Code: |
...
Also note that for both GRUB and LILO, CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 must be added for silent mode to operate.
...
|
Try to change CONSOLE=tty1 to CONSOLE=/dev/tty1, maybe the console can not be found corrrect. |

thats not going to help, i tried today to just run plain old vesafb-tng in 1280x1024-24@60 compiled into the kernel without any boot parameters ( it ran just fine until i tried to startx and go back to my console) i even tried downgrading my nvidia-drivers.. still no luck, any other ideas?

Mhh,
i did the gensplash wiki some days ago without any problems. I have nvidia too and the only difference to mine seems your grub.conf and the driver version (100.14.11). So i have only two more ideas 
One is your grub line. Here is mine:
| Code: |
... quiet splash=silent,fadein,theme:gentoo-blue video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap,1024x768-32@75 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
|
so use maybe:
| Code: |
... splash=silent,fadein,theme:livecd-2007.0 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap,1280x1024-24@75 console=tty1
|
The wiki say to use vesafb insteat of vesafb-tng in grub.conf if you have problems. I don't know precise whats the difference between mtrr:2 or mtrr:3, maybe give it a try. During an install of a friends gentoo, we noticed that the order of arguments sometimes affect the boot-process (curious but happened). He just changed the position of the video argument and the boot failed. So maybe splash=... video=... and then console=... helps. I don't believe so but who knows...
And if that all won't work, an driver upgrade maybe helps. If that still won't work i am out of options for now  |

i dont know what is going on, i have tried everything i can think of, changing drivers, running just vesafb-tng with no splash or anything (no boot parameters) , trying nv and vesa in X instead of nvidia drivers, but as long as i have framebuffer in kernel and try to run X i cant go back to console once in X
dont know if this is causing it but this is what revdep-rebuild says:
