My god :(
Who the hell cares about KMS, i know, i know it's a good thing, I agree,
but can not compared to have a good looking boot with an accelerated
X... and a switch in a second between the two... Nowdays, the mayoralty
of users have lcd displays, where the native resolution much more
important (because lower resolutions results a blurred image) than the
mode switch which is smooth (and many users even don't notice it)
without kms...
So what I mean... kms is GOOD, plymouth is GOOD, nouveau is GOOD, but I
absolutely sure, that who pays for any NVIDIA gpu, he/she want to use
it's power, so it's pointless to say that use nouveau instead of the
proprietary driver... Good to have nouveau instead of nv on the livecd,
but it pointless to ask users to use it on their installed systems,
until it can't provide stable efficient 3D support for all gpu's! So
this HAVE to be fixed! As far as I know, plymouth doesn't depends on
KMS, so we have to make vesafb to work for nvidia users (I use it since
ages, and have no problems at all nor suspend or any other problems,
only Bug #550104 that seems to caused by plymouth itself)
And finally, thanks for all the crew to making ubuntu the BEST os
around, but I can't understand that HYPE around the bootsplash...
usplash was really good, I liked it (even made some themes for it) but
since ubuntu started to "improve" it's boot experience I no more have a
native resolution boot out of the box, and now I even can't make it work
by hand :( so please KEEP ubuntu the best!!
