[bootsplash] Own theme not working

[Andreas D. <ma...@an...>]

Hi,

I run openSUSE 10.3 which comes with a predefined openSUSE Bootsplash which=
=20
works fine. Also other downloaded themes work after copying them=20
to /etc/boothsplash/themes, pointing to them in /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash a=
nd=20
running mkinitrd.

So it is obvious that splashing in general is working with 1280x800=20
resolution, the right params is passed in Grub (vga=3D794 splash=3Dsilent).

But I somehow fail in creating my own theme. I started by copying a working=
=20
theme, made JPGs of my own in the correct resolution and saved them=20
uncompressed with 2x1-1x1-1x1 encoding in GIMP.

Then I wrote this config file:

=2D-------
version=3D3
state=3D1
progress_enable=3D1

fgcolor=3D7
bgcolor=3D0

tx=3D50
ty=3D50
tw=3D1180
th=3D924

jpeg=3D/etc/bootsplash/themes/XPS/images/bootsplash-1280x1024.jpg
silentjpeg=3D/etc/bootsplash/themes/XPS/images/silent-1280x1024.jpg

#progress bar bg

#progress bar final state

box silent         895 750 895 770 #aaaaaa

overpaintok=3D1
=2D-------

This seems quite valid to me and obviously, installing works because mkinit=
rd=20
brings up no more errors (it did in first place when I had typos in the JPG=
=20
paths) and tells correctly the name of the theme and my chosen resolution:
Bootsplash: XPS (1280x1024).

But after a reboot, no splash is shown and the system comes up with the rig=
ht=20
resolution (1280x800) but in text-mode. dmsg even shows that i splash had=20
been displayed (bootsplash: silet mode).

Now I am somewhat without any clue. Can anybody help?

Greets,
Andreas
