How can I configure Lilo in order to display a bitmap ????

I have Slackware 10, bootsplash at 1024x768, and kdm at boot

You need the special version of Lilo that SuSe made.

Check out http://www.gamers.org/~quinet/lilo/help-en.html and enjoy

I believe what you are looking to do is called a bootsplash. Run a search on this forum for bootsplash, and you will find a lot of threads. Also you have to recompile you kernel with the bootsplash patch, obviously there are different patches for different kernels, but go over to http://www.bootsplash.org to get move info. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

The bootslplash patch is for adding a graphic that covers up everything that is being done . If your just wanting to add a picture to the Lilo screen where you select what os or kernel you want, then this is easier. An example of mine is

install=/boot/boot-bmp.b # means you will use grafical version
bitmap=/boot/handy_128bis.bmp # background path
bmp-colors=38,68,53,112,38,25 # text color
bmp-table=114p,347p,2,7 # label position on the screen p=pixel
bmp-timer=470p,336p,25,0,11


handy_128bis.bmp is the picture and is located in the boot directory. You can read more to understand the variables at this link.

I have already Bootsplash configured ..

I've done what hostile1313 said and works , thank you all for the reply.

Unless you use the patched version that SuSe made, you will only be able to use low-quality bmps.

Thanks for the info. I have a friend that is installing Suse this weekend and I will keep that in mind. I have never used Suse and have used mostly Slackware.


Happy it worked out for you Metal-Lord
