hi all, I wanted to have an image flash up on the screen instead of having to watch lines scroll on the screen when the system boots up. (device splash is enabled in GENERIC by default) SO I did: 1.kldload splash_bmp 2.then copied a BMP file(PEA.bmp) to /boot/kernel 3. to /boot/loader.conf 3.1 splash_bmp_load="YES" 3.2 bitmap_load="YES" 3.3 bitmap_name="PEA.bmp" (as I am writing this mail away from the BSD m/c, I realise that I am not sure the BMP is 320*200 & is probably more than 256 colours) When I rebooted, all I saw was text, then the BSD devil (beastie) and then text again. Since I did not see my desired BMP, I kldunload'ed the splash_bmp, and commented out the lines from /boot/loader.conf BSD "beastie" is not my default screen saver - green saver is. Now when I reboot the m/c, all I get is a blank screen (probably my current GREEN screen saver) instead of the BSD devil. Why is the screen saver getting picked up now that SPLASH has been disabled? Or is there some other problem? Any help will be appreciated. TIA rgds, ===== -- K E S H A V T A D I M E T I -- ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
