I can't get the splash screen in 3.1 to work at greater than 320x200 resolution (it works fine at 320x200). I've got ``options VESA'' in my kernel, and just to make sure I've added ``load vesa'' to /boot/loader.rc. The document http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt contains the following: Last update: 4 Feb. 1999. Kazutaka YOKOTA yokota@FreeBSD.ORG [....] Q. I loaded kernel, a bitmap file and the splash_bmp module as instructed, but got the following error. What gives? Preloaded elf module "splash_bmp.ko" at XXXXXX. module_register_init: module_register(splash_bmp, YYYYYY, 0) error 19 A. The current version of splash_bmp.ko is very limited. The color depth must be 8 bpp (256 color), and the size must be 320x200 or smaller if the VESA support is not included in the kernel. If your BMP file doesn't satisfy these conditions, splash_bmp.ko will return error 19 (ENODEV). If the VESA support is compiled in the kernel or the VESA modules is preloaded by the boot loader, larger bitmap may be used. Another possible cause of error is that the video driver finds it unable to switch video modes on your video card and splash_bmp.ko is failing. Run the `dmesg' command and see if it shows something like "...video mode switching is only partially supported..." among boot messages. There is no fix for this at the moment. Sorry. I get error 19 from splash_bmp.ko. I've checked that the BMP complies with the requirements, it's 640x480x256 colours. If the problem is that the video driver can't switch video modes on the card the I should get the error described, but I don't. Has anyone any idea what's wrong??. Thanks My /boot/loader.rc: load /kernel load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config load -t splash_image_data /dawn.bmp load vesa load splash_bmp autoboot The relevant parts of dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-1999 FreeBSD Inc.
