I used the splash module which to splash a picture at boot time . As I am not so satisfied with it , I want to animate it : give it a movie at boot time. It need some extra work than just load the splash module . first , it need a cold boot timer , as the soft clock interrupt will not be scheduled at cold boot time . second , we need to load more than one pictures at boot time. and finally we have to start and stop it at any time we wanted. while , I am sure now I have proved it is pratical , I let the kernel execute the soft clock interrupt handler function at cold boot time . and splashed two different pictures at boot time , letting the daemon walked a little :) without any twinkled delay , even when not optimised now. There are still some things to do to accomplish it , it there any one who is already doing it ? Or could I get any kind of suggestions ? --------------------------------- Yahoo!
