Hi!

First of all, thanks for the clear guide of how to change the boot video. I did it by referring directly to my new boot video (stored in in /opt/bootmedia) in the default.conf, works perfectly. I did first make sure that my boot video was owned by root (checked using 'ls -l).

I do believe I found a small error in your commands to revert to the standard boot video:

to your N900 Documents folder, open xterm and type:
Code:
sudo gainroot
mv home/user/MyDocs/.documents/default.conf /etc/hildon-welcom.d/
Enjoy.

I think "/etc/hildon-welcom.d" should be "/etc/hildon-welcome.d" there?

I also found out (by accident) that any .conf in the /etc/hildon-welcome.d directory is parsed during startup. I first created a default.conf_bckp file before changing anything, and then I noticed that both my new boot video (now in default.conf) and the original video (referred to in the backed up .conf) were shown during startup of my N900... Not that it's of any use but I thought I'd share it with you guys

Once again thanks a lot, nice work!

EDIT: the multiple .conf files "trick" was already documented in some threads, hadn't seen them yet, sorry!
