bootsplash problem

bhert · 08-10-2006, 11:45 PM

Hello people! I need help with the problem with the bootsplash. On the default suse bootsplash the resolution is 800x600. if I change it to 1024x768 and reboot, all I get are text flying by and no bootsplash screen. I changed the resolution back to 800x600 and the bootsplash screen is back to normal. I downloaded a different bootsplash, the only resolution in the new bootsplash config file is 1024x768. is there a config file somewhere in the systerm to change to make it work at any resolution or what? Help me please. The default suse bootsplash is ugly!!

After you've changed the resolution in /boot/grub/menu.lst, you need to run mkinitrd (as root) to include a picture of the new resolution into initrd. After that the new splash should appear normally.

I looked in the menu.lst and the only thing I can see is vga=0x314. Is that for the 800x600 resolution for bootsplash? If so, how do you change it so it will work for 1024x768? Thanks

Try vga=0x317 or 0x316

Code:

    | 640x480  800x600  1024x768 1280x1024
----+-------------------------------------
256 |  0x301    0x303    0x305    0x307   
32k |  0x310    0x313    0x316    0x319   
64k |  0x311    0x314    0x317    0x31A   
16M |  0x312    0x315    0x318    0x31B
