Re: Graphical boot issues: a.o. graphical boot twice slower then text
Since the X display has more resolution, the graphical boot has the
potential to provide more information. However, what is usually done is to
use the graphical boot to _hide_ information, for warmth and fuzziness.
This should be an option if people want it, but it would also be nice if
the graphical boot could be configured to display lots of info including
every ugly error that occurs. I would use the graphical boot if this was
possible. Also, unless there's some issue I'm not aware of, the shutdown
should be the same type as the bootup, for symmetry. Right now, it appears
that shutdown only has text mode.
The SuSE guys have included the possibility to press F2 during boot up /
shutdown of the system, so every old fashioned guy (like me) who wants to
see the boot / shutdown messages is able to see them in a window included in
the graphical area. I don't know if they are holding a software patent for
this issue, like others do for scroll bars ;-)
Perhaps one could include this to the fedora bootup, too.
