RE: [SLE] splash screen

If you get an answer, please let me know!!! Isn't there somebody from SuSE who could let us in on the 'secret of the splash'???

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. Plus, it makes me look more impressive to my Windows buddies when they see all the text flying by the screen.

You name it, I've tried it.

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.

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
