changing framebuffer image?

0pal_t0ad · 12-08-2004, 06:19 AM

is there a simple way to change it, or does it require recompiling the kernel?

Hi,

The image is from a kernel file (/usr/src/linux/include/linux/linux_logo.h) so it's compiled in the kernel... so if you want to change it you'll have to recompile your kernel

alternatively, if you want to go totally nuts about your framebuffer... http://www.bootsplash.org/

WICKED!!!!! cheers mate!! i'm definitely gonna give that a go.
but that means changing to a 2.6.* kernel. will have to find out a bit more about 2.6 and laptops first tho'

thanks again!

bootsplash works fine on a 2.4.x kernel too...
