[Debsplash-devel] Re: verbose error

[Luis M]

Ah, it's not that no one wants to code it. It's that people don't want
to depend on X for a bootsplash. Otherwise, redhat already does this
and it works for them (whatever their bootsplash is called, it needs X
in order to draw to the screen).

usplash aims to talk directly to the /dev/fb* devices. in other words,
it will be a mini version of X doing only exactly what it's meant to
do and nothing else: paint jpeg's to the screen (or PNG's of course).

outside of that, did you get a chance to checkout debsplash from alitoh's cvs?
