fblogo_patch(1)

NAME

fblogo_patch - Generate a kernel patch using a kernel source tree and a custom logo header

SYNOPSIS

fblogo_patch logo-header path-to-linux-source [width height]

DESCRIPTION

fblogo_patch takes a logo header file, the linux source tree, and dimensions of the logo, and sends a reusable diff to patch the kernel tree with to stdout. No manual editing in the kernel sources is therefor required (e.g. editing fbcon.c)

OPTIONS

logo-header: Your custom logo header file

path-to-linux-source: Path to your kernel source tree, e.g. /usr/src/linux

width: Width in pixels of the logo image

height: Height in pixels of the logo image

If width and height are omitted, fblogo_patch will try to detect these values from the specified header file, which will only work if the header was created by fblogo. This feature is still experimental though, and will likely fail.

USAGE

First generate a header file using fblogo(1), which will also tell you the image's dimensions in case you don't know them. Using this new header file and it's dimensions, call fblogo_patch: (Assuming your kernel sources are to be found in /usr/src/linux, and you just created a linux_logo.h using an image of 300x80 size)

fblogo_patch linux_logo.h /usr/src/linux 300 80 > mylogo.patch
