Hi, i have built packages for the bootsplash tools (no package for the patch itself though. just download and apply the diff). They are available on http://people.debian.org/~erich/boot/bootsplash/ and work fine on my notebook as well as my sisters. I didn't get the bootsplash support of swsusp working though; but maybe i just forgot applying that "connector" patch... ;)
No AA Text rendering yet (what text to use? that would require modifications to the init scripts... i didn't build this fbtruetype tool yet, but i probably is as easy as the rest) and no animations (packages are built, but i don't have nice animations, i'm no artist. ;) ) Progress bar is working fine if you use the supplied rc.splash (just change it in /etc/inittab) You'll find a theme i built for Debian there, too. It uses a really cool background made by Alexis Younes (ayo), http://www.73lab.com/ -- unfortunately i don't know if it is DFSG-free. using the debian logos it probably isn't. ;) Greetings, Erich Schubert -- erich@(vitavonni.de|debian.org) -- GPG Key ID: 4B3A135C (o_ There was never a good war or a bad peace. - Benjamin Franklin //\ Die kürzeste Verbindung zwischen zwei Menschen ist ein Lächeln.
