I can easily put it into syscons (both 320x400 & 320x480)... > Should I ?? If it means we can say "use Windows 95 startup screens", yes please. I could still do with "how to set pixel at x,y with palette entry z" instructions though. There are updated diffs at ftp://ftp.gsoft.com.au/misc; I temporarily moved the splash startup into scattach because bootverbose doesn't seem to be set properly on the first call to scinit(). I'm still not happy with the current splash model; I'm leaning towards the splash being effectively a separate console, rather than being attached to a "normal" console. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
