---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 10 May 2001 21:01:41 +0200 (CEST) From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@transmeta.com> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Subject: [PATCH] fbdev logo
Hi Linus,
This patch fixes a few bugs in the penguin logo code of the fbdev (frame buffer device) subsystem:
- Technical fixes: o The colors of the 16-color penguin logo are wrong. The logo looks like a psychedelic penguin holding a glass of beer (or LSD?). This is caused by a bug fix in the console subsystem that no longer allows us to use an old color palette hack. This problem is ca. 9 months old! Solution: replace the logo by a new one that uses colors from the standard console palette only. o Remove an obsolete #include. o Remove an obsolete logo file in drivers/char/sgi/ (it was removed from the Linux/MIPS CVS tree some months ago). o Use __HAVE_ARCH_LINUX_LOGO* defines to determine logo inclusion in the include files. - Political fixes: o There were still some penguins left carrying a glass of beer or wine. This problem is about 2 years old!
- Aesthetical fixes: o Upgrade the logos to an anti-aliased variant with pleasant halo-effect.
Some of these fixes are already in Alan's tree. I'll make sure he gets a copy of the patch relative to his tree, and will post this message to linux-kernel (with a link to the patch).
You can find a table showing the old and new logos at my web page:

Thanks for applying this patch!
