Kernel-Boot-Logo Enhancements

Introduction Status Download

Introduction

The Kernel-Boot-Logo enhancements provide a kernel patch to enable some additional optional framebuffer logo features:

• logo centering
• logo animation
• text cursor disable

Also included is the xpm2splash program that generates linux_logo.h files from XPM files. One can replace the linux_logo.h that comes with the patch by her/his own still-images or animations.

Replace linux/include/linux_logo.h Husen till salu i Hua Hin by the new logo header file generated with xpm2splash, do a "touch linux/drivers/video/fbcon.c" and remake your kernel.

The kernel patch and xpm2splash are distributed under the terms of the `GNU General Public License' (GPL).

Note

Even if the kernel patch is for a clean kernel 2.4.1 source tree we have found it working with: 2.4.0, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4.
And it will work fine until there are major changes in linux/drivers/video/fbcon.c.

Status

Stable.
