Hi,

I'm trying to get bootsplash working, I've been following the wiki guide at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Framebuffer:Bootsplash:Grubsplash

Framebuffer is working fine, but i dont get a splashscreen

while configuring my kernel as per the instructions above, i couldnt
find the option

Bootsplash configuration --->[*] Bootup splash screen

[*] support for the framebuffer splash

which I have enabled in its absence

If "[ ] bootup splash screen", is still in 2.6.8-r3 could someone
tell me where abouts it is.

I have put Option "NvAGP" "1" in the "Device" section of xorg.conf.
is that the right section.

and here is my grub.conf enrty if anyone can see anything wrong

###############
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.8-r3 (+FB +Splash)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hdb3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr
vga=0x31A splash=silent
initrd=(hd1,0)/boot/initrd-gentoo-highquality-1280x1024
###############

any suggestions

thanks
James

Bootsplash and fbsplash (also known as gensplash) are two different
things. In your kernel, the bootsplash patch has been removed, and
replaced with the fbsplash patch (and the associated framebuffer upgrade
patch).

Essentially, you are following the wrong Wiki page-- rather than the
HOWTO_Framebuffer:Bootsplash:Grubsplash, you need
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash . You also can re-patch the kernel
to re-enable bootsplash-- Information on that is in the forum page
linked on the bottom of the Wiki page. But fbsplash has improved several
times since that forum thread was started; I'm using it, and it works
quite well. You just (as always) have to know how to set it up.

Hope this helps.
Holly
