Hi all.
I have a small problem with fbcondecor.
Well I followed this guide http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Fbsplash:
1) installed splashutils using this USE "fbcondecor png truetype".
2) configured my bootloader grub.conf
| Code: | kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.32-rc7 root=/dev/sda3 splash=silent,fadein,theme:natural_gentoo console=tty1
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initramfs-bootsplash |
3) Run
| Code: | | rc-update add fbcondecor boot |
When I boot I can see the image splash in silent mode but when I switch with F2 to verbose mode there isn't the background image of verbose mode. Any ideas?
I thought that I have to patch my kernel with this http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/archive/fbcondecor-0.9.6-2.6.31.2.patch but it is for kernel 2.6.31. Can I use it?
Thank you all

Do you have
| Code: |
pic=images/verbose_image.png
silentpic=images/silent_image.png
|
in your splash config file?

Do you have CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y in kenel?
Or , see if the verbose image is in the initram
"zcat /boot/initramfs-bootsplash | cpio --list".

Are you sure the verbose image is 1680x1050.
Run "splash_manager -c demo -t yoursplashtheme" and switch between silent and verbose.

If I run
| Code: | | splash_manager -c demo -t natural_gentoo |
It shows me the silent theme with the bar, but if I press F2 it shows me console without verbose theme
The verbose image is 1680*1050

Use a different image (or the silent image) for verbose mode and recreate the initram.

I've tried glossy gentoo 0.2 theme, other resolution but verbose doesn't work.
I use grub 0.97.
I think that I have to patch my kernel with http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/archive/fbcondecor-0.9.6-2.6.31.2.patch, but I use 2.6.32-rc7 so I have to wait for 2.6.32 patch.

| I solved it on my setup, I had 'tile blitting' enabled in my kernel, removed it and now I got 'verbose with F2! Spotted that little gem trawling thru google. |

| I deselected 'firmware EDID' too, try that. Its not required for vesa or uvesa, also make sure (u)vesa is not a module. |

Try using vesa (or uvesa if using amd64) 'cos I dont think card specific drivers are very good. Use this guide:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Framebuffer
I use uvesa:
| Code: | | video=uvesafb:1024x768-16,mtrr:2,ywrap,splash=verbose,theme:natural_gentoo CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 |
| Code: | general setup:
[*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support
(/usr/share/v86d/initramfs) Initramfs source file(s)
--- Support for frame buffer devices --->
[ ] Enable Tile Blitting Support
*** Frame buffer hardware drivers ***
<*> Userspace VESA VGA graphics support
Console display driver support --->
[*] Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM
<*> Framebuffer Console support
[*] Map the console to the primary display device
[ ] Framebuffer Console Rotation
[*] Support for the Framebuffer Console Decorations
[*] Select compiled-in fonts
[*] VGA 8x8 font
[*] VGA 8x16 font
[ ] Mac console 6x11 font (not supported by all drivers)
[ ] console 7x14 font (not supported by all drivers)
[ ] Pearl (old m68k) console 8x8 font
[*] Acorn console 8x8 font
[*] Mini 4x6 font
[*] Sparc console 8x16 font
[ ] Sparc console 12x22 font (not supported by all drivers)
[*] console 10x18 font (not supported by all drivers |
Amend as necessary for 'vesa', (non-amd64), and leave the 'Initramfs source file' empty.
| Code: | | video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap vga=791,splash=verbose,theme:natural_gentoo CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 |

I am using KMS, kernel mode-setting. Can I use vesa?

| X and the framebuffer are independent, framebuffers dont use xorg drivers. so I think so, yes, unless you use TV in the framebuffer? Though I dont think thats possibel. |

When I configured KMS I had to remove all the framebuffer drivers from my kernel config; because drivers like vesafb, intelfb, etc are not compatible with KMS.
Infact I had some problems with those, and kms worked only when I removed framebuffer drivers.

I stand corrected!
Maybe your KMS drivers are preventing 'fb_radeon' from writing to /dev/fb0. |

How can I controll if my KMS drivers are preventing 'fb_radeon' from writing to /dev/fb0?

I patch my kernel 2.6.32 with this http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/linux-patches/genpatches-2.6/tags/2.6.32-1/4200_fbcondecor-0.9.6.patch?rev=1637&view=log, and it WORKS. Great effect.
Thank you all.
