I'm sorry but this is a problem with the upstream bootsplash patch. You might wish to report this problem to oliver@dediziert.org (the maintainer of bootsplash.de) as he the most likely person to be able to contact the author of the patch for 2.6.8.1. |
When I use bootsplash programs using ncurses (such as vim and less) cant scroll uppwards, insted itt will scroll downwards but fill with empty lines for things that where outside the screen before. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open vim or less with for ex. /etc/make.conf. 2. scroll down (by pressing down or j) a bit so it gets posible to scroll upp. 3. scroll upp (by pressing up or k). Actual Results: The text is scrolling downwards and filld with empty lines Expected Results: The text is scrolling uppwards, and you can se the text erlier in the file My versions on the importent packages: sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.8.1 media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6.1-r6 sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r5 app-editors/vim-6.3 sys-apps/less-382-r2 # emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-amd64-2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r0, 2. 6.8.1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8.1 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2 /share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo ftp://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa amd64 apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cd cdr crypt directfb d ivx4linux dvd dvdr encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib java jpeg libg++ libwww mikmod motif mpeg mysql ncurses nls nogcj oggvorbis oss pam p dflib perl png python quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl tcltk tcpd truetype xml2 xmms xprint xv zlib" # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf timeout 30 default 0 #splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splah.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux root (hd0,1) kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda4 video=mtrr,vesafb:1024x768 vga=0x317 splash=silent initrd=/initrd title=Gentoo Linux (nosplash) root (hd0,1) kernel /bzImage root=/dev/hda4 vga=0x317 title=Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 # echo $TERM linux
