This issue has not gone away with 11.04 ... It would be nice to get back to the graphics quality and speedy consoles of the pre-maverick releases. I consider this a big unresolved regression for ATI users and seemed to make no headway since 10.10. ** Summary changed: - Maverick splash screen

If the console output is too slow (which I assume is what you mean in serious system slowdown), decrease the resolution. I have a couple of lesser powered ATI cards (HD3200) where I notice super-slow consoles on the higher, unaccelerated, vesa modes they support. I just take these down to lower

I have the released 10.10 with and ATI card and plymouth falls back on the plymouth-text splash screen. I suspect this is the same problem I currently see on at least 3 other ATI GPU maverick system configurations here (all upgraded from Lucid), some laptops, others desktops. I'll do my best to

Additionally, the card used for my debug has 256MB onboard shown in lspci below, as I noted a comment in #554143 relating to ati cards with =32Mb having the console dropped to 8bpp by a kernel patch.

I found a solution to this problem, possibly one that can be addressed through a configuration patch to grub2. When my system boots to grub, I selected 'c' for command-line, and issued vbeinfo to figure out what vesa video modes my particular card supports. Interestingly 640x480 is not on the
