If you have a graphic display you see some sort of logo in OpenBoot immediately after a reset or when you run the banner command. With most systems, you see a spiffy multicolor logo generated by a routine on the video card. But if you have a low-rent video card you just see a plain monochrome Sun logo. In either case, you can override the logo with your own logo but you are limited to a 64 by 64 black and white logo. I decided to give it a try but I found that it was not easy figuring out how to load that logo into OpenBoot. The eeprom command can do it, but the needed format was not documented anywhere. But I peeked at the source code on the Open Solaris web site and figured out what it needed. I see that Solaris has some ImageMagick stuff available and that helps a lot. So here is my script to load a logo. You need a 64 by 64 .bmp file for input. Then just feed that bmp file into my script which I call bmploader...
It takes a single argument which is the name of the bmp file. And you can have a -r flag to flip all the bits for a reverse video effect. The 64 by 64 monochrome restriction means that you can't do the Mona Lisa or anything. But it's still fun to play with.
I'm trying to configure Ultra 5 workstation to be accessed by Win HyperTerminal.

setenv input-device ttya
setenv output-device ttya

XLOGO(1) General Commands Manual XLOGO(1)NAME
xlogo - X Window System logo
SYNOPSIS
xlogo [-toolkitoption ...]
DESCRIPTION
The xlogo program displays the X Window System logo.
OPTIONS
Xlogo accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options, as well as the following:
-render This option indicates that the logo should be drawn with anti-aliased edges using the RENDER extension.
-shape If -render is also specified, this forces the edges to be rendered in sharp mode, (ie. 1-bit alpha channel).
-shape This option indicates that the logo window should be shaped rather than rectangular.
RESOURCES
The default width and the default height are each 100 pixels. This program uses the Logo widget in the Athena widget set. It understands
all of the Simple widget resource names and classes as well as:
foreground (class Foreground)
Specifies the color for the logo. The default is depends on whether reverseVideo is specified. If reverseVideo is specified the
default is XtDefaultForeground, otherwise the default is XtDefaultBackground.
shapeWindow (class ShapeWindow)
Specifies that the window is shaped to the X logo. The default is False.
WIDGETS
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose xlogo. In the notation below, indentation
indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
XLogo xlogo

ENVIRONMENT
