bootscreen + ressolution fixes not compatible with Intel/ATI

[un1versal]

All of the code that fixes resolution so that bootscreen sort of works is not coma[tible with ATI/Intel machines

function installXbmcBootScreen()
{
showInfo "Installing XBMC boot screen (please be patient)..."
#IS_INSTALLED=$(aptInstall v86d)
#IS_INSTALLED=$(aptInstall plymouth-label)
sudo apt-get install -y plymouth-label v86d > /dev/null
createDirectory "$TEMP_DIRECTORY" 1 0
download $DOWNLOAD_URL"plymouth-theme-xbmc-logo.deb"
if [ -e $TEMP_DIRECTORY"plymouth-theme-xbmc-logo.deb" ]; then
sudo dpkg -i $TEMP_DIRECTORY"plymouth-theme-xbmc-logo.deb" > /dev/null 2>&1
update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/xbmc-logo/xbmc-logo.plymouth 100 > /dev/null 2>&1
handleFileBackup "$INITRAMFS_SPLASH_FILE" 1 1
createFile "$INITRAMFS_SPLASH_FILE" 1 1
appendToFile "$INITRAMFS_SPLASH_FILE" "FRAMEBUFFER=y"
showInfo "XBMC boot screen successfully installed"
else
showError "Download of XBMC boot screen package failed"
fi
}

function applyScreenResolution()
{
RESOLUTION="$1"
showInfo "Applying bootscreen resolution (will take a minute or so)..."
handleFileBackup "$GRUB_HEADER_FILE" 1 0
sudo sed -i '/gfxmode=/ a\ set gfxpayload=keep' "$GRUB_HEADER_FILE" > /dev/null 2>&1
GRUB_CONFIG="nomodeset usbcore.autosuspend=-1 video=uvesafb:mode_option=$RESOLUTION-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
if [[ $GFX_CARD == INTEL ]]; then
GRUB_CONFIG="usbcore.autosuspend=-1 video=uvesafb:mode_option=$RESOLUTION-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
fi
handleFileBackup "$GRUB_CONFIG_FILE" 1 0
appendToFile "$GRUB_CONFIG_FILE" "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=\"$GRUB_CONFIG\""
appendToFile "$GRUB_CONFIG_FILE" "GRUB_GFXMODE=$RESOLUTION"
handleFileBackup "$INITRAMFS_MODULES_FILE" 1 0
appendToFile "$INITRAMFS_MODULES_FILE" "uvesafb mode_option=$RESOLUTION-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap"
sudo update-grub > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo update-initramfs -u > /dev/null
if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then
showInfo "Bootscreen resolution successfully applied"
else
showError "Bootscreen resolution could not be applied"
fi
}

all that at best must be applied to Nvidia only

Thanks for reporting but I don't see how the installXbmcBootScreen method can be influenced by the video driver. Are you sure this method is problematic with video cards other then NVIDIA's?

[un1versal]

wsnipex seems to think so as well, and considering the framebuffer/uvesafb and resolution is 100% Nvidia only, I would think it does not play well with other video cards,

[bramvanoploo]

Alright, thanks. I'll look into it!

while a little unrelated, doing this in nvidia cause a error too, since Im not a fan of having any errors, I removed all of this anyway on my nvidia install.

My grub I appended "video=vesa:off vga=normal" so as to remove the error. idk if its compatible with the fixes anyway.

This should have if [[ $GFX_CARD == NVIDIA ]]; then not if [[ $GFX_CARD == INTEL ]]; then isnt it?

3 years later I assume I was given the middle finger
