Yes, this is possible. A while back I did this as an exercise of a video card. There are several ways to do this, kernel, userland, etc, but probably easiest is to load a bitmap in the kernel. If you feel like going one step further, you can do what I did and add alpha blending for the text console over your image. Doing graphics-on-graphics alpha blending is quite expensive so it is probably a good idea to expose this feature of your video card, however getting the documentation for your particular card will be a chore. This ofcourse is just a for-fun thing, and one would never expect such a feature in the kernel. A properly designed userland app would best fit this. ani On Sun, 11 Aug 2002, Stephane Wirtel wrote: > dear, > > is it possible to set a picture as background with the framebuffer ? > i'm searching about all possibilities with the FrameBuffer. > > -- > Stephane Wirtel <ste...@be...> > Web : www.linux-mons.be "Linux Is Not UniX !!!" > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _______________________________________________ > Linux-fbdev-devel mailing list > Lin...@li... > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-fbdev-devel > |
