xsplash - How to disable it ?

[foreverubun2]

I liked the Karmic Splash screen until I updated and it went back to the color one(Which I hate). How do I go back to all-white?

PS: Devs, please make this changeable without too much terminal usage, especially no kernel header changes. Or just change it back to shut me up.

Come on - 2 splash screens, how useless considering the additional load / initialization times and the inconsistent user experience. In addition its a waste of work time since there already is an X splash system. Besides this I think with KMS it makes way more sense to have a non-X splash and switch to X in almost real time when its loaded. X will never load fast / early enough to be a good place for a system splash.

So how do I disable it ?

Rename /usr/share/images/xsplash?

Like in every professional software one needs to hack arond in system files ? What about a configuration somewhere ?

an easy way is to remove "xsplash" package from Synaptic

That is not a solution on a netbook because it will remove desktop-switcher, ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-netbook-remix as well.

Would be nice, but isn't there. Xsplash is just another program, if you don't like it, uninstall it.

If X loads earlier on in the boot process with Karmic, even if you do remove xsplash, you might not get the usual console output instead. Idk.

i'm curious to know about how to disable it - i used startupmanager to disable up to Jaunty, but it doesn't work on Karmic - it seems we need other tools or edit other configuration files? which are them?

Is there a method for this yet? There probably should be considering Karmic comes out in 2 days.
