Hey,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the slow reply, I've been selling my house so have been away<br>
from my computer.<br>

</div>basically, plymouthd exposes a "ply_keyboard_t" object for managing<br>
keyboard input. That object is passed to the splash plugins via the<br>
set_keyboard vfunc that the splash plugin registers with. Typically a<br>
splash plugin doesn't do much with the keyboard object, since the<br>
stock keybindings are handled by the plymouthd core, and even the<br>
input side of password input is handled by plymouthd directly. That<br>
object has a function<br></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Done.. <br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

ply_keyboard_add_escape_handler() which registers a callback function<br>
that is called when the escape key is pressed. Your splash plugin<br>
will need to call that function, but as I mentioned earlier, main.c<br>
will also need to stop registering for escape itself.<br>

Once those two changes are made, you then just need to draw the<br>
console output along side (well below) your splash. The console<br>
output is sent to you via the on_boot_output vfunc that the splash<br>
plugin initially registers with. You'll want to save that output to a<br>
temporary buffer, and then draw the contents of the buffer from your<br>
on_draw handler at the same time you draw the rest of the splash.<br>
