media-gfx/splashutils-1.1.9.8-r1 USE="png truetype -hardened -kdgraphics*" Should'nt this *kdgraphics* be *kdegraphics*?
Nope. # euse -i kdgraphics global use flags (searching: kdgraphics) ************************************************************ no matching entries found local use flags (searching: kdgraphics) ************************************************************ [- ] kdgraphics (media-gfx/splashutils): Use KD_GRAPHICS for silent mode. This will cover ALL messages (even when there's a kernel panic) with the silent splash image. If the splash daemon dies, this might leave the console dead.
