Great! :) Glad to see we're making progress. > Please let me know if there's anything else you want me to do yet to > help get this bug actually fixed. Is plymouth also low resolution, or just grub? The goal is to have plymouth using best native resolution, *not* 640x480, though the nouveau driver may just be accepting whatever resolution grub sets up for it. Does plymouth show up when using *just* plymouth:force-drm, without also setting GRUB_GFXMODE? Can you attach the plymouth debug log resulting from booting with plymouth:force-drm? Now that you're able to see grub, could you hit 'c' to get a console, grab out the list of available modes with the 'vbeinfo' command, and post the list here (screenshot with a camera may be easiest)? Then you can try stepping through the resolutions one by one with GRUB_GFXMODE to see which gives the best results on your monitor. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
