I've never seen KMS clear the screen there for either nvidia or radeon cards so I doubt it's that. All it does at that point that is visible to the user is set the resolution and paint on the $GO_FAST stripes. Now fbcondecor, that's a likely area to look in. I personally no longer use fancy fb and boot splash type things (I like my Alt-F1 console to look like a console and not get in my way) so I doubt I can be of much help further on this. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
