Hi.
I'm not sure that write is what I want. At the very least, it will make the code harder to read and maintain. Here's a small portion of what I'm currently doing:
/* Print version */ posn[0] = (unsigned char) (0); posn[1] = (unsigned char) (video_num_lines); putconsxy(suspend_console, posn); cond_console_print(swsusp_version, strlen(swsusp_version)); /* Print header */ posn[0] = (unsigned char) ((video_num_columns - 29) / 2); posn[1] = (unsigned char) ((video_num_lines / 3) -4); putconsxy(suspend_console, posn); The output looks something like this: -----
S U S P E N D T O D I S K
Writing caches... [-------- 120/640MB ]
2.0-rc4 ----- Bootsplash is also supported, so there's an even nicer version :>
Regards,
Nigel
