If I might add, I believe that at least in some cases this could be avoided.
I have grub2-efi on a macbook pro, and I still get the cursor (the machine is booting directly to grub, no other bootloader, bios, etc is loading). If instead I use rEFIt as the first bootloader, I can see the rEFIt menu without any extra modesetting or flickering, which leads me to believe that it would be possible for grub to do the same. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861048 Title: have really quick '_' on boot before first purple screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-flicker-free-boot/+bug/861048/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
