title: Change Linux framebuffer background color
body: <p>My question is about the linux kernel. When framebuffer device initializes (I guess it is <strong>vesafb</strong>), the screen is filled with black color. How can I change that color? What file should I edit? I guess it is something in <strong>drivers/video/</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I only know about changing console background (<strong>drivers/tty/vt/vt.c</strong>), but this is not what I need. VGA Console is turned off.</p>
  
  <p>In case my description is not clear I have a <a href="http://youtu.be/HvrIP1Gsk5k" rel="nofollow">video</a> that shows my system bootup in a virtual machine. After the kernel is loaded QEMU window changes it's size to 640x480 and becomes completely black (0:03-0:04). This is what I want to modify. After it my init is started. It outputs text to framebuffer and then dies, causing kernel panic and reboot in 1sec. Then everything starts over.</p>
