Action Item #689
Updated by Hammel about 5 years ago
The current method uses psplash and faking the X startup early. This is a bit klunky. It's time for a better method. First, cleanup things outside of the init process by "modifying config.txt":https://scribles.net/customizing-boot-up-screen-on-raspberry-pi/. Next, consider using "fbi":https://www.nongnu.org/fbi-improved/ "fbi":https://www.edv-huber.com/index.php/problemloesungen/15-custom-splash-screen-for-raspberry-pi-raspbian instead of psplash, possibly modifying it to make a simple animation. Or modify psplash for the same thing. Consider modifying fbi/psplash to be synchronous by having it accept input from a FIFO to kill it off, and use a stamp file to notify the caller that it's done and start up the next interface, re: X.org.
