Title: GroovyArcade Boot Screen crash
Post by: BeeryGaz on December 27, 2013, 06:00:03 am

I'm using GroovyArcade installed to a HDD - it's working like a dream but I have one issue. If I enable the Grub boot logo, I get a split screen image of the GroovyArcade logo, it animates for a while, a small purple box shows up with what appears to be a progress bar and then everything locks up (And the logo animation stops).  If I disable the boot logo everything is fine, the screen quickly switches from the 30Hz split screen effect to a normal image.  On shutdown the logo appears correctly. 

Any ideas on how to address this?  (Radeon X800 & generic 15Hz monitor)

It seems to be a known problem, the splash screen on boot somehow corrupts the graphics card. I think the only solution is to keep the splash screen disabled on boot.
