Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
I tried to install a new splash screen in plymouth. Now I get a vesa fb device error just before the text-based splash screen shows up. The error message is displayed only for a very brief period, so I can't note it down. I am using version 270.41.19 of the NVIDIA drivers, on a Dell XPS 15 L501x notebook (Core i7 740 QM, NVIDIA GT435M, 6 GB DDR3 RAM) running Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 64-bit and GNOME3.
