Ok, it sounds like the remaining problems you're seeing - with or without nomodeset - are X driver problems, not plymouth problems, so closing this report. Thanks for following up. ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- Plymouth garbles screen (ATI 200M)

Agreed. I've been bitten by two separate bugs during boot, this one (now solved) and the KMS issue. There's quite a discussion about the latter going on at 509273, which is what you mean I guess. If not, plz point me in the right direction about filing a bug against the right driver (kms,

hi Steve, I wish I could ;-) There were updates to X-core and the ATI/Radeon driver in the same batch that contained Plymouth 0.8.0~-14. To my surprise I can now start up without the dreaded 'nomodeset' option. This works fine, Plymouth and X all doing what they should. So far, so good. In

Spoke too soon. Tried hibernating (worked) and resuming (crashed). Did a hard reboot and behaviour is back to where it was; 'nomodeset' when booting else vertical lines y nada mas. Steve, the good news is that Plymouth now works OK for me even when booting with 'nomodeset'. - 2 messages about

The fix for the plymouth problems is still in progress and will hopefully be resolved in the next few days; it's a deep issue that's been taking up all the time of one of our developers to get to the bottom of. I certainly agree with you that we want to get the ATI KMS bug fixed also, but I'm not
