120. Introduction
13
14gensplash is based on Genkernel code and that's why it's Gentoo-specific. It
15requires splashutils to work. To set up theme you may edit /etc/conf.d/splash
16or set DRACUT_GENSPLASH_THEME and DRACUT_GENSPLASH_RES variables. Your theme
17has to exist in /etc/splash and for every given resolution has to exist config
18in theme's directory, e.g. there's 1024x768.cfg in /etc/splash/natural_gentoo.
19List of resolutions is comma-separated.

21NOTE: The module will be rewritten to be distro-neutral. Its name will change
22to fbsplash.

251. Hostonly vs Generic
26
27All available themes are installed only if no --hostonly is specified and no
28DRACUT_GENSPLASH_THEME and DRACUT_GENSPLASH_RES are set. Otherwise those vars
29are checked and if not set then config /etc/conf.d/splash is read.

322. Configuration and kernel parameters
33
34Example set up by environment variables:
35 DRACUT_GENSPLASH_THEME=natural_gentoo
36 DRACUT_GENSPLASH_RES=1024x768,1024x600
37
38Example kernel arguments:
39 splash=silent,theme:natural_gentoo console=tty1 quiet

41You may easily set up the module using Genkernel with arguments:
42 --gensplash=<theme>:<res1>,<res2>,...
