Bootsplash

[Azkrath]

Since i am having problems on my bootsplash, on my asus, with BT5 KDE 64b version, im wondering if there is any way to change the resolution on the bootsplash menu. When i start up the live usb drive, it starts at 1024x600 resolution, however after hdd install, it starts at 640x480 or 800x600 and the fix-splash command doesn't work. Any solutions?

I would sugest to look at the framebuffer resolution... Thats where I'm going to start with to... I need a 800x600 b/c I am using vmware and sometimes need to use only the cli... But your best bet is to look on other forms on how to change the FB resolution... If I find anything Ill let you know.

Ok managed to get the grub to boot at 800x600 resolution at 32b (since 1024x600 is not supported by my grub), editing /etc/default/grub and adding/changing these options:

In /etc/default/grub find the lines:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text splash nomodeset vga=791"

and change it to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text splash"

&

GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600x32

underneath that line insert:

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=800x600x32

then in /etc/grub.d/00_header find the line:

if [ "x${GRUB_GFXMODE}" = "x" ] ; then GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600x32 ; fi

then insert below it

if [ "x${GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD}" = "x" ] ; then GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=800x600x32 ; fi

In the same file, but farther down the page, find the line:

set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}

insert below that line:

set gfxpayload=${GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD}

Now run

# update-grub2

Substitute your own screen resolution for mine.
Now, grub starts up at 800x600 resolution, after it displays the backtrack5 image (fullscreen, no verbose mode), then it shows again the grup display (verbose mode, no image). So how to fix the splash screen at the start of grub? It appears that the terminal on grub loading is of the same size of bootsplash, covering the entire monitor screen and hiding the splash behind it.

Does anyone know where are the files from bootsplash, like the wallpaper used and such?

After updating grub from..

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=800x600x32

I didn't get any where but then I went to go look at the /etc/grub.d/00_header like you found out and wa la it worked. Missing code in the 00_header file did the trick.

Thanks for finding it before me.
