we have RPi3 with touch screen display. We want to configure very smooth boot process with custom splash screen displayed and boot directly into our own GTK application.
So we have replaced Plymouth default splash.png with our logo. It displays correctly but only for about 2 seconds. When Xserver starts loading, the screen is cleared and it stays black for about 10 seconds. Then our application opens.
My question is whether it is possible to shorten the black screen time or display our logo during this period (e.g. by not clearing the screen on Xserver startup). If I kill Xserver and then run it manually by "startx", it loads almost instantly.
