Hi! I have a system installed with yast1 WITHOUT splash screen. I WANT to enable splash screen, but how do I do that? I've the line 'BOOT_SPLASH="yes"' in my rc.config but it doesn't work.... Can anyone help me? Met vriendelijke groet, Harry ten Berge Test Engineer Holland Institute of Traffic Technology HITT B.V. P.O. box 717 Apeldoorn email :berge@hitt.nl <http://www.hitt.nl> tel : +31 555432537 fax : +31 555432554
I've worked on this for months now and haven't come up with a solution. I'd like some info also. It appears to me that if you don't set it up during installation, it won't work no matter what you do. I've tried every recommendation mentioned. I installed SuSe in 3 systems. Of the 3, 2 have the splash screen. Those 2 units were booted from the CD when I installed SuSe and the one that doesn't have the splash was booted from the floppy disk. Strainge I know, but I've heard strainger.

Strainge I know, but I've heard strainger.
1) make sure you use either a default suse kernel, or if you compiled your own, make sure to do a mkinitrd 2) make sure you have the relevant rpms installed [I forgot which, default and default with office both have it] 3) set the option vga=0x0317 in lilo.conf WARNING: This may cause conflicts and or weird/shitty behaviour with certain video cards, esp. on laptops with Geforce2Go or ATI rage (8Mb version) Also causes sever conflicts w.

I used the default kernel and had the rpms...also tried the vga=0x0317. I installed using the 7.3 Pro version and didn't compile my own since I don't know how to do it. The only difference was the CD/floppy. I've tried everything that people mention to get it to work and nothing happens. I'm not about to reinstall to get it working either. I can live with it.

This thread is a tad confusing, is this on the Graphical Display for LILO or the animated frame buffer on tty1 on boot? I got the Graphical LILO Display, which is great, but never got the Animated Frame Buffer working on any machine... Robert K Davies On 28 Feb 2002 12:26:13 -0800, Tom Nielsen wrote:

Don't think booting media is the problem, because I installed from bootdisk, but still have splash screen. It should be something else... -- Verdi March -- --- Tom Nielsen <tom@neuro-logic.com> wrote:

HI Harry, If you're writting about the Lilo splash screen, you need at least 64mb of memory before it will work. If you have less only a green box will show at boot. Give us more details and I'm sure someone can help. JIM On Thursday 28 February 2002 13:34, Berge, Harry ten wrote:

I just did a fresh install of 7.3 on a laptop with only 32MB. I get a nice VGA sized graphical splash screen/menu, with a penguin in the background and a SuSE "creature" along the bottom. -- Regards, Malcolm KMail l.3.1 -- KDE 2.2.2 -- SuSE Linux 7.3 Remove the dots to email me
