Hi folks.

Yet another post. I love posting my different errors in different posts. It's easier to follow them.

I installed bootsplash today. Followed the howto posted on this forum. Unfortunatly my resolution doesn't chnge nor do I get a different background. I can post things that are requested, I use the laptop so I type them over.

Can someone give some tips? There are no errors at all...

You might want to give your config

not sure which config (still learning), but I'll post my grub config here to start. If a different is required please let me know.

Code: Select all

#which default to use
default 0

#How much wait time
timeout 30

#Which background image to use
splashimage=/grub/splash.xpm.gz

#Options
Title=Bare Gentoo Installation
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=/kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r6 root/dev/hda3

title=Test Bootsplash & Network (Wireless)
root=(hd0,0)
kernel=bzImage root=/dev/hda3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr
vga=0x31a
initrd=/initrd-1280x1024

Oh maybe of use. I have a Nvidia 128mb video card fx5200. The Nvidia support in the kernel is disabled, as requested in the howto.

Oops

Unfortunatly I can't do the howto. It wants splashutils to be installed which I can't do for I have bootsplahs emerged which has a media-fgx/bootsplash which conflicts with bootsplash utils. I tried to unmerge it but I can't get it done. I did discover that the kernel image also won't let fvwm start using startx fvwm. Maybe there's a connection?
