2007-01-30 22:45:17 Paul Sladen description Binary package hint: usplash Hi I have an athlon 300+ amd64 with ubuntu 6.10 installed from the beta cd (amd64). Usplash appears black and white and doesn't seem to show correctly. On dapper usplash worked fine. Thanks Because of limitations, usplash uses 'vga16fb' when running on amd64 machines. As VGA16 is limited to 16-colours, it is chosen that these are used for 16 shades of grayscale between black and white. See bug #56587. <sladen> mjg59: remind me again what exactly the amd64 framebuffer usplash grayscale issue is---it's just not possible to program the palette entries over 16 ? <mjg59> sladen: No clue [..] It's going to stop using vga16fb. <Mithrandir> sladen: it's using the vga framebuffer for various reasons. <Mithrandir> the current x86emu in the usplash source tree doesn't work correctly on amd64

2007-02-07 10:05:59 Colin Watson usplash: statusexplanation With any luck this should fix it, assuming that Matthew's libx86 changes were correct. Note that you need the corresponding initramfs-tools update to avoid loading the vga16fb module on amd64. usplash (0.4-36) feisty; urgency=low * Fix path in example theme Makefile (LP: #73005). * Depend on debconf. * Update usplash_write(8) to document TEXT-URGENT and PULSATE. * Switch to libx86, fixing svgalib on amd64 (LP: #67545). * Don't fall over if the bogl backend can't set the resolution, which won't be possible on several framebuffer implementations (LP: #81413). -- Colin Watson <cjwatson@ubuntu.com> Wed, 7 Feb 2007 09:55:13 +0000
