hi Steve, I wish I could.... ;-) There were updates to X-core and the ATI/Radeon driver in the same batch that contained Plymouth 0.8.0~-14. To my surprise I can now start up without the dreaded 'nomodeset' option. This works fine, Plymouth and X all doing what they should. So far, so good.
In order to find out what Plymouth would do when booting under 'nomodeset' I rebooted and tried that. Guess what..... the situation has reversed. 'Nomodeset' now gives me a screen with vertical coloured bars abd lines, and there it all ends. To be precise: - 2 messages about fsck - a purple screen in text-mode with Ubuntu showing, no coloured horizontal bar at the bottom - some messages about urearahead exiting with status 4, looking a bit messy like the ones that broke up the blue/white bar - X kicks in and I'm looking at vertical lines. I guess I can't complain about my system finally booting without setting extra options, but it sort of bothers me that I can't tell you whether Plymouth works OK now when KMS is disables. Thanx for all your effort so far tho. cheers Tom -- Plymouth garbles screen (ATI 200M) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is a direct subscriber. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
