Description Nikolas Garofil 2003-09-01 05:25:42 UTC

I made a patch for the init script from bootsplash-0.6-r2 so that it supports
different backgrounds for different TTY's. This patch will probably NOT work if
you also patched the init script with the patches from bug 27682 and 26996. 
To put (for example) the default background on TTY3 (this is the 4th screen),
put the following line in "/etc/conf.d/bootsplash":
BOOTSPLASH_THEME3=default

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Comment 3 Tobias Sager 2003-09-07 04:15:13 UTC

This bug has wrong status.
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27698 should be the duplicate (anyway, this is what I see from the comments).



What happens with this patch if there are more or less than 6 consoles?

Comment 4 Nikolas Garofil 2003-09-10 04:21:01 UTC

If there are more then 6 consoles then they console 7 and higher will have no background.
If there are less then 6 consoles you will get the message "Failed to set framebuffer console images" but all consoles will have backgrounds.

This behavior is the same as the unpatched script

Re-opening and marking the Bug 27698 as the dup

Comment 6 Charles Goodwin 2003-12-13 15:53:15 UTC

*** Bug 27698 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 7 Tobias Sager 2003-12-13 16:58:45 UTC

I'd actually prefer the original implementation with
support for any number of defined TTY's as in Bug 26996
over the fixed definition of 6 possible consoles.

Just my 2cents.
Tobias
