| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 1 Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 2 (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 3 boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 4 |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 5 It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers. |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 6 The idea is that early on in the boot process the native mode for the |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 7 computer is set, plymouth uses that mode, and that mode stays throughout |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 8 the entire boot process up to and after X starts. |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 9 Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup. |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 10 |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 11 For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 12 back to text mode (it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface). |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 13 |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 14 In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely occluded. |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 15 After the root file system is mounted read-write, the messages are dumped |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 16 to /var/log/boot.log. |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 17 Also, the user can see the messages at any time during boot up by hitting |
| Hans-G?nter@25144 | 18 the escape key. |
