YESS!!!!!!!!
that worked =)
I grabbed a 320x200 image and popped it in there, rebooted and SAW IT!
ok one more question then I'll leave y`all alone (about this issue at
least!)
When I want to change the image, any way to do it without rebooting? i.e. if
I am using the image as my screen saver as well.. can I copy a new image in
there and execute a command to re-cache the new bmp?
Thanks so SO much!!! =)
