启动图片问题！

bowlei

我装的是Rh9.0，采用grub启动系统。我想修改一下启动时的图片，grub的图片保存在/boot/grub/下，图片名称是splash.xpm.gz。请问一下xpm是怎么一种图片？我也尝试去用jpg图片改名，压缩成splash.xpm.gz但是reboot后不能进入Linux了。我想问问这是什么回事？
在此感谢各位。

XPixMap (XPM) consists of an ASCII image format and a C library. The format defines how to store color images (X Pixmap) in a portable and powerful way. The library provides a set of functions to store and retrieve images to and from XPM format data, being either files, buffers (files in memory), or data (included files).

While XPM is not an X Consortium standard, it is already a de facto standard. It is used in many applications both commercial and non-commercial. Several vendors distribute the XPM library, as contributed software, on the platforms they sell. Moreover, the Common Desktop Environment specifies that icons must be stored either in XBM or XPM format. Finally, Motif 2.0 from OSF includes the XPM library, allowing XPM to be used in addition to XBM.

XPM has nothing to do with dates in any form. The XPM library is therefore Y2K compliant.
