I think it is not a duplicate of that bug. I first experienced this
problem on an Intel ASRock motherboard, while running a "sis" driver for
xorg, and the same workaround did the job. Now I have that motherboard
no more.
Since you are suspecting the graphics chip, I additionally tried with
"computer 2" above, which mounts an ASUS P5VD2-MX motherboard with an
integrated Unichrome Pro IGP VIA P4M890 graphics chip, using the
"openchrome" xorg driver. The results are the same.
Summarising:
1) I observe no problems without a vga= specification on the kernel line
2) I observe no problems with a vga= specification and the workaround
applied
3) I observe problems with a vga= specification without the workaround
All of 1, 2, 3 above happen similarly with at least three different
graphics chips.
With at least two different graphics chip, disabling usplash makes no
functional difference. I could not try with the third one (sis on
ASRock).
