[Bug 1469303] Re: NVIDIA does not work with framebuffer drivers
The latest NVIDIA drivers now support KMS, so in theory plymouth can be made to work on them now. however none of this is likely to happen for the initial 16.04 release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1469303 Title: NVIDIA does not work with framebuffer drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/1469303/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1469303] Re: NVIDIA does not work with framebuffer drivers
The graphical splash screen is disabled on NVIDIA's proprietry drivers, since they won't work properly with framebuffers and will cause instability. I believe this will all be fixed as part of their wayland support which will include a KMS layer, but that is a ways off and certainly won't be in for 15.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1469303 Title: NVIDIA does not work with framebuffer drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/1469303/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
