I still have some problem with the picture. My video card is a nvidia,
and I read somewhere at such card are not able at boot time to do other
video modes as at 60 Hz. Vbetest find a few 65k colors modes at
1280x1024 and 1024x768 and even a 16M colors mode at 1024x768. But at
boot time, I can only get a 256 color mode at 1280x1024. It is strange
because vbetest don't even get this mode to work.
So, I have done a few 256 colors silent png pics and a few 240 colors
verbose png pics. The problem is at when booting with a silent splash,
the pic is just nice, I switch to verbose and all is still fine, but
when I get back to silent, the pic appear like polarized, the colors
are not good anymore.
I try both the vesafb and
vesa-tng, it was worst with vesafb, so I switched back to vesa-tng.
On http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=49036, I read at I must not
have the logo in my kernel configuration and I have it.
This thread is quite old now, and the problem don't appear when I swith
the VT, but when I switch the mode from verbose to silent with F2. So I
am not sure.
Is it something I can do or is it a bug with gensplash?
Cheers,
Dominique
