Hi there to everyone
when rt-sources-2.6.16-r29 are installed, the merge of
splashutils-1.1.9.10-r1 fails, complaining about an error in input.h
the fix is quite easy (credits:
http://www.helpfeeds.com/showthread.php?p=1139679):
You can try to fix it manually by moving the line "#ifdef __KERNEL__"
from somewhere (about line 839) right above the In-kernel definitions
to a position before the declaration of struct input_device_id (about
line 799) in the file usr/src/linux/include/linux/input.h from the
kernel source tree.
Beside Note: This seems to be fixed in 2.6.17
Here there should be a patch:

I tested it and now the merge of splashutils works.

I was trying that on my 2006.1 install yesterday. The problem I get is at the
kernel compilation failed early with this modification. So I set the file in
its original state and it compiled without problem. Have you try to compile a
kernel?
I have not applied the patch but only modified input.h by hand. Maybe at it is
something more in the patch.
I get one more problem with it. I have done a first kernel without bootsplah
and this one work fine. After that, I reinstalled the rt-sources with
fbsplash and vesafb-tng. As gensplash was not installed on the system, it was
necessary to modify input.h and run a make modules-prepare in the kernel tree.
It did it fine. But I get an error when compiling the kernel, so I reversed the
modification in input.h. Now, I get an error at boot time with this kernel
about a wrong module format or something like that. It appear to early in the
boot process and I don't find this error in my log files.
It is very strange because I have exactly the same kernel in my old install,
and it work like a charm. I want to unmerge rt-sources as well as the
lib/modules directory and remerge rt-sources and do a fresh kernel compil with
it. But I am busy with something else just now.
