Public bug reported: This is on an HP EliteBook 8560w with a Quadro 1000M. With nvidia-319, instead of Plymouth, all I see is purple (same colour as GRUB) on the top part of my screen and the BIOS splash screen on bottom, until X starts and lightdm comes up. When I try to switch to a VT, all I see is a black screen with a purple strip at the top, but input works since I can reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Del or even log in and run commands without being able to see what I'm doing.
With nvidia-310 on the same system everything is normal and Plymouth and VTs work.
