Is really neccesary to use a X server? Why not just modify the init scripts to use fbi to show a image? Is not that the kernel takes a lot of time to boot and run init - even windows XP shows an ascii bar while it loads their kernel, that period of time doesn't takes too much time and it doesn't annoy anyone. You could switch off the printk output too, so the users doesn't see any kernel message at all while init runs and the scripts puts the image in the framebuffer console. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
