Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding grub and plymouth and whether
what I'm seeing may or may not be a bug.
First, when I boot my laptop I am usually greeted by a GRUB menu with a
background image, this is not the case in F10. Instead, my laptop goes
automatically into booting from a blank screen. Then I get a couple of
messages and then plymouth starts. Is this normal or should I get the
usual GRUB menu with the count down allowing me to select kernels?
Note: this laptop is only running F10 it's not a dual boot or anything
strange.
This is expected behaviour press esc key while the black screen is
displayed
and the grub menu gets displayed.
Second, when plymouth starts my screen is black except for a progress
bar, which is doesn't progress smoothly and changes a few colours with
the words Fedora 9.92 in the lower right hand corner. However, the
progress bar does eventual fill out though it still flickers with
different colours. I have an intel 945 video chip.
Also expected.
KMS works only on ATI cards, Intel not far away but probably wont make
it in time for F10
Nvidia some where in the distant future...
Would I be a real whiner if I said there out to be a way to get it to use vesa
mode, which may be slow but but at least *works*? I'd love to try some
additional features, but I can't without a working display.
