I would like to know how to change the GRUB boot splash image. I like the default one, but I want to be able to change it. I downloaded a few pre-made splash images and saved them as *.xpm in my /boot/grub. I put this line in my menu.lst:
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/blu.xpm.gz
But when I re boot it does not work!  |

You can build your own pretty easily.
Code:
apt-get source kanotix-graphics
Change the background.pcx in the source and build. |

| Very nice artwork, Cathbard! Can anyone tell me how to lock-in the setting for framebuffer resolution? It defaults to 1024x786, and I'm looking at a 19" flat face CRT. I'd prefer to have it remember I like 1280x1024. |

Ed, please post contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a code box so I can take a look at your current settings. If you're using fbdev driver, boot from LiveCD with cheat code "xmodule=vesa" to test whether you can get at least VESA resolutions & screen refresh rates. |

You need to pass the resolution to GRUB on boot w/ the vga= parameter. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add something like so:
Code:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.17.7-mz-rt-2
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.7-mz-rt-2 root=/dev/sda2 ro ramdisk_size=10 0000 lang=us apm=power-off nomce vga=0x31A splash=silent
boot
vga=0x31a is equivalent to 1280x1024 @ 16 bits. |

I have the above vga=0x31a in my menu.lst but it still defaults to 1024x786..............the fonts are too big,I like em smaller when its booting and I can see whats going on.Also you have a capital "A" and my config shows lowercase "a" if that matters.
I dont use splash.
Very nice grub theme,I am about to use that if its ok. 
Thank you |
