Alberto, please revert these blacklists. Blacklisting the cards in grub
causes a significant regression to the user experience when NOT booting
in recovery mode - systems that had a perfectly working flicker-free
boot from grub to plymouth even when using the binary nvidia drivers now
have a text mode boot everywhere (bug #863719). We should *NOT* regress
the standard boot experience in the last weeks before release to improve
the recovery mode experience.
I believe a better solution here is to adjust /etc/grub.d/10_linux to
always pass =text instead of =keep for recovery mode. Half the time
when you're booting to recovery mode you'll get this anyway because the
previous boot didn't succeed, so having grub always do this will be more
consistent - and handle possible problems with the video handoff across
*all* video hardware.
