Or could I get any kind of suggestions ? I wrote a syscons screensaver before by hacking up a new loadable module which drew what I wanted on the screen. It's asking for trouble though, surely this isn't stuff to put in the kernel, or even a module. A better approach would be to pull the damn modules out of the kernel and have one module that hands console output (vgl perhaps) to a userland program. If you can put up with a just after boot movie player then that would be far easier and more sensible than having an in kernel movie player. You could have a boot splash that says "Loading Movie Player", and then when everything is up and running go from there in userland. In my humble opinion etc. etc. Steve Roome
