Variant 1: /sbin/splash together with a kernel patch developed by Stefan Reinauer in his days at SUSE. This is what we use at boot/reboot shutdown. Variant 2: splashy: entirely user land, we use it when we do suspend. Variant 3: ply_image: fast, fully user land, just pasts an image into the console used on Moblin (and SUSE Moblin). I assume you have problems with variant 1, the kernel solution. As we load DRM (and thus KMS) only when X starts and do normal fbdev before this problem only appears at shutdown. a. Does the problem also occur when you do init 3 and reboot without ever starting X? b. What does 'cat /proc/splash' say when X is running? With my Intel laptop I don't see this issue. I could install 11.2 on my newest Intel box (82915G - which still is at least 3 years old). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It probably won't, because KMS won't be activated (dri not loaded). Nevertheless, interesting to try. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
