Hi,
Is there anyone on the list who has the following configured on their
workstations?
* bootsplash giving them a nice picture at the startup [ in runlevel
boot]
* bootsplash giving them a nice picture later [ in runlevel default]
* Then X11 starting on their nvidia card configured with xf86 or
xorg with X working in default runlevel
* Switching back to consol with control-alt-F[n] and being able to
work without locking up your box - and without framebuffer corruption.
What I want to do is have my virtual consoles [alt-F1 through to alt-FN
except for F7 of course] having individual pretty images on each of
them, and X windows working at the same time.
Is it even possible?
If yes, then if you know anyone has everything working, I would be
obliged to note the version numbers etc and any pointers.
I have looked at the net [I must admit, not in the last two weeks
though] and was baffled by the following.
- framebuffer corruption just wouldn't go away.
- machine lockups
- many a times, no errors but the framebuffer image still wouldn't show
up at the startup
- not being clear about difference between gensplash and bootsplash
[they seem to serve the same purpose] which one should I use on my
system. Should I emerge one, or both or one of them and themes for both?
[You can tell how confused I am].
I know this is long - so if you can take some patient time out for me, I
would be very grateful. Else I could use any pointers/links given by you
on my own time.
Time to rebuild my box is close anyway - need to repartition whole thing
to make more room for Oracle/Gentoo and MySQL/Gentoo.
Best regards,
Rohit
