Wallpaper in text mode.
Hello.
I want to ask, is it possible to set a wallpaper in text mode. I want to have a wallpaper in runlevel 3, behind the bash prompt.
Regards.

They use fbsplash; you will need to recompile your kernel.

Re: Wallpaper in text mode.
I believe that fbsplash has been renamed to fbcondecor (for framebuffer console decoration) in the latest release. You will probably need to get uvesafb running and then apply the fbcondecor patch to the kernel in order for it to work.
