Hi everyone, I am attempting (and failing miserably) to create a graphic spalsh screen to be displayed upon Linux startup, like in Windows9x and Macintosh. I'm thinking that all one needs to do is modify vga_init() & __svgalib_open_devconsole() to just use /dev/console and to not worry about ttys. Then, the code needs to be entered into /usr/src/linux/init/main.c , and the kernel compiled with a static link to libvga.a and libc.a (or, actually to /lib/libc.so.5 , since several versions of libc.a that I've tried produced errors -- and -lc doesn't work either, since it wants a static file). Can anyone help me with the modifications to vga_init(), et al, or offer any other advice? Thanks, Jay Link
