Hi,

     I tried to walk the preboot path, but it seems I can't get what I want.
CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO leaves some space on the top left area of the display
for the logo AND the scrolling of the text (console redirected to VGA) 
avoids this area.
Using CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO places the data on the right side of
the logo (which again is not scrolled).

The only way I can think of to avoid blobs like our logo is to patch 
cfb_console.c
to allow something like:

#define CONFIG_VIDEO_NO_LOGO(w)        (w == 0 ? 100 : 200)

#ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_NO_LOGO
#define VIDEO_LOGO_WIDTH    CONFIG_VIDEO_NO_LOGO(0)
#define VIDEO_LOGO_HEIGHT    CONFIG_VIDEO_NO_LOGO(1)
#else ... other cases

(or use 3 macros), then use preboot to display the logo where it is 
supposed to be.
Still the extra info can't be put to the area right to the logo (to 
prevent it to be scrolled away).

Any suggestions?
Helmut
