hi Thayer,

i use the following:
1 export png in inkscape 2 flatten image (gimp) 3 gaussian blur ~=1/100 of image width = pixel (120px final wide pic has 1.2 px gaussian blur - makes it easier to dither sharp edges later) 4 resize to 120x120 px 5 put in indexed colourspace, use FS dithering 6 export image to ppm respectively to pbm 7 build kernel to test it (i'm compiling right now)
As said above, gimp exports fine: http://iphitus.loudas.com/arch/ck/misc/logo.png Did that a few years ago as a bit of a joke. Out of curiosity, I did one later that was big enough to only allow 1 line of text. Made a nice fake bootsplash, but of course wasnt remotely practical.
