Not sure if it makes sense to post it here, but after I installed this, my system doesn't initialize network or kdm at boot any more. I have to do it manually. Yet it tells me that "runlevel 5 has been reached". Weird runlevel 5 without graphical environment or network...
I did everything like described... well, additionally I changed DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto to "1680x1080_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, was that stupid? xD
I'm on openSUSE 11.4. Any idea what I did wrong or how to fix it?
Nevermind. Of course, the issue was that I changed that setting. Teaches me not to touch system configuration files I don't understand.
Anyway, while I'm here, I like this splash a lot. Any chance there will be a GRUB theme for it, too?
