Hi, > There is a similar project: gensplash/fbsplash. It is used and developed by > gentoo community. Website: http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/ No gensplash/fbsplash are the successors of bootsplash. They all need kernel patches and will probably never enter the kernel. My program/idea is based on the framebuffer, but does not depend on kernel patches (as *splash) or X11 (as rhgb). Bye, Toby
