The problems solved themselves. I don't know why but now it works
all fine.
ii bootsplash 3.1-17 Enables a graphical boot screen
ii bootsplash-the 0.5-6 The bootsplash theme debian
ii console-setup 1.7 Setup the font and the keyboard on the
conso
ii console-termin 4.20-2 Fixed-width fonts for fast reading on
the Li
But there is another problem with the init script. There exists only a
check for special configuration files for the specific ttys
(vtsplash-TTY-RESOLUTION.cfg) but no one for none existing standard
configuration file (bootsplash-RESOLUTION.cfg). My framebuffer has a
resolution of 1280x1024 but the default theme (bootsplash-theme-debian)
has only one configuration for 1024x768 pixels, namely
bootsplash-1024x768.cfg. So, everytime the script is executed, i get,
correctly, an error message that the file 'bootsplash-1280x1024.cfg'
doesn't exists. I've added a corrected init script with some other
changes, which should correct this behaviour.
