Description Jay Phelps 2005-04-29 08:49:36 UTC
I use 1400x1050 on my laptop and there is no matching .cfg or images for this.  So I made some (see attached) Seems to work good on my system but I could be off by a pixel or two someplace ;-)  It's not my call but space is not a concern, these could be added to the ebuild.

Actually, I guess I should assign this to blackace.

blackace: once you get a new "upstream" tarball ready for me, I'll roll a new splash-themes-livecd release.  It would probably also be cool to geta  few widescreen resolutions in there, too, if possible.

For some reason the attached files dont work on my laptop (using radeonfb @
1400x1050).
Images are not shown and I can read the following in my backlog:

No 8bpp verbose picture specified in the theme config.
No 8bpp silent picture specified in the theme config.
Comment 6 Jay Phelps 2005-07-08 06:13:58 UTC
Hm .. it works on mine and I used it every day.  My kernel config line for
radeonfb does specify 32bit color though  video=radeonfb:1400x10
50-32@60
Comment 7 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-08 09:11:20 UTC
If there are no 8bpp pictures, you definitely need a mode with a higher
bit-depth, and you need to specify the bit depth explicitly on the kernel
command line. video=radeonfb:1400x1050-32@60 should be OK.

Ah yes ofcourse... that fixed it.. kinda :P
The text (Press F2 for verbose mode or whatever it says" is totally blurred and
misplaced... totally unreadable... but thats another story =)
Comment 9 Jay Phelps 2005-07-08 20:05:58 UTC
What should the depth be on these files?  I'd be happy to do 8 bit or whatever
but do not know what is needed.

The are fine as they are right now (same depth as the other files). It was I
that had a configuration error :-)

This has been fixed in splash-themes-livecd-2005.1... don't expect bootsplash to be updated, since we 
moving away from supporting it, and hope to remove it completely from the tree in the near future.
