Gensplash issue

Hi,

I have installed gensplash and all the tools needed to make it work. It works like a charm when booting, with the progressbar and all.
The problem is that when I cant get the splash-image to show up on vt2. I added gensplash start by default in rc.conf, but it doesnt seem to work.

I get the spalsh image on all the vt's exept vt2.

I have this in rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond alsa dbus gensplash)

and this in gensplash.conf
SPLASH_TTYS="1 2 3 4 5 6"

Any idea why this dosent work?

Btw, dmesg gives me this:
fbsplash: console 1 using theme ''
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 1
fbsplash: console 2 using theme ''
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 2
fbsplash: console 3 using theme ''
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 3
fbsplash: console 4 using theme ''
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 4
fbsplash: console 5 using theme ''
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'on' on console 5
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'off' on console 1
fbsplash: switched splash state to 'off' on console 5

Re: Gensplash issue

Did you set the consolefont as described in the wiki?  It's a weird workaround but it fixes the bug - I dunno what the problem is.
