FYI... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 21:01:41 +0200 (CEST) From: Geert Uytterhoeven <ge...@li...> To: Linus Torvalds <tor...@tr...> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <ge...@li...> Subject: [PATCH] fbdev logo Hi Linus, This patch fixes a few bugs in the penguin logo code of the fbdev (frame buffer device) subsystem: - Technical fixes: o The colors of the 16-color penguin logo are wrong. The logo looks like a psychedelic penguin holding a glass of beer (or LSD?). This is caused by a bug fix in the console subsystem that no longer allows us to use an old color palette hack. This problem is ca. 9 months old! Solution: replace the logo by a new one that uses colors from the standard console palette only. o Remove an obsolete #include. o Remove an obsolete logo file in drivers/char/sgi/ (it was removed from the Linux/MIPS CVS tree some months ago). o Use __HAVE_ARCH_LINUX_LOGO* defines to determine logo inclusion in the include files. - Political fixes: o There were still some penguins left carrying a glass of beer or wine. This problem is about 2 years old! - Aesthetical fixes: o Upgrade the logos to an anti-aliased variant with pleasant halo-effect. Some of these fixes are already in Alan's tree. I'll make sure he gets a copy of the patch relative to his tree, and will post this message to linux-kernel (with a link to the patch). You can find a table showing the old and new logos at my web page: http://home.tvd.be/cr26864/Linux/fbdev/logo.html Thanks for applying this patch!

It tastes better anyway! No. End of discussion. Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert P.S. Personally I do prefer vodka too. Can we get some sponsoring from Absolut please? :-) -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- ge...@li... In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.

Ditto - I'd like at least an option of the "incorrect" logo. I can (sorta) see not having it as the default. But perhaps under the 'experimental drivers' tag, have an option of "Politically incorrect framebuffer logo". (If there isn't a huge outcry against it, I may work up a patch - been meaning to get into kernel stuff, and this seems relatively harmless.)
