Gentoo-like graphical shell?
Hi everyone! I recently installed Slackware 9 and would like to know if there is a way to create a graphical backround for the shell, something similar to Gentoo.
Thanks! Leo. |
use aterm.. you can have the shell display a background.
Or are you wanting one for the console? |
|
oubipaws, when you mean console are you talking about the individual console windows you can start inside an X windowing environment or the thing that comes up if you init to runlevel 3 without X?
I want to be able to init into level 3 and have a 1024x768 resolution with a nice background image. Have you ever tried Gentoo? Thats what I want. Thanks for your reply! |
fancypiper, do I have to use framebuffer, can't I just use native graphics card drivers?
|
I think that depends upon whether you run x or not and your video card..
Here is The Gentoo Framebuffer, Bootsplash (12VT) & Grubsplash How-To if that helps and theconsole, framebuffer, nvidia,1024x768@70Hz forum postings. |
fancypiper, thanks! The info in the link looks pretty straight forward I'll take a look at it tonight at home.
Leo. |
