This patch is for Linux-2.4.x
This kernel patch will allow you to have a full-screen
boot logo in any FBcon supported video mode, except for
VGA text mode. After applying the patch, you simply need to
answer `Y' to `Custom boot logo' under the Framebuffer Support
options. Then, place your custom boot_logo.ppm into
linux/Documentation/boot_logo.ppm
When you recompile your kernel, the boot_logo.ppm
file will be reconstructed into a 214 color, 16 color, and
2 color B&W include file in linux/drivers/video/boot_logo.h
When you boot into the logo-enabled kernel, the
logo will be automatically centered on your framebuffer,
and you will have 2 lines of kernel/init status at the bottom
of your screen. Like the std. ``penguin'' logo, your custom
logo will be repeated horizontally for however many processors
your have on your system, or however many logos will fit - whichever
is smaller.
To remove the logo from the screen, simply switch away
from, them back to, the original boot-up VT.
Comments, suggestions, patches, etc. are welcome.
