Hi! I've tried to set up my box to have a splash screen when booting FreeBSD-4.4. I tried a 320x200 BMP image without VESA module and that works fine. I tried it with VESA and that works fine, too (but it's centered on a - I think - 640x480 screen). I tried to use a 640x480 BMP image with the VESA module and the screen just flickers shortly and then displays the normal console. It may be that the 640x480 image is a 24 bit image whereas the 320x200 image is an 8 bit image. Does that make a difference? Where can I find information about what color depths and resolutions are supported for the splash screen? BTW: what exactly makes the splashscreen module switch back to the normal console after booting? Does it display the image for a certain number of seconds or is switching back to text mode triggered by other means? Greetings, Thomas.
