From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031009 Description of problem: If is going to be a graphical boot, then there should be no text output at the loading of the kernel till the starting of X. It should be either redirected to a dummy console, or suppressed with a kernel boot option. Then, you start X server for rhgb, then shut it down to load X server for gdm. That is time consuming for nothing. It should be done as an option in a single X server session. I know there are many xdm clones like gdm,kdm,xdm, a.s.o, but at least make rhgb linked to the default one (gdm). Or make it plain gdm and gdm+rhgb in one piece to avoid arguing that one may like gdm without rhgb and viceversa. It is a pity to see that other distros have better graphical boot, like including bootsplash from http://www.bootsplash.org/. why this patch is not included in the kernel anyway ? You can disable at runtime if needed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhgb-0.10.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot with rhgb Actual Results: text output from kernel and X restart between rhgb and gdm. Expected Results: nice graphical something, and neat transition from rhgb to gdm. Additional info:
Hi, thats exactly what I just wanted to post as a bug myself... Most appreciated! bye Harald
you can append 'silent' to your boot line, and a large chunk of the text will go away.
