Hi,

Hi, I have several laptops all with different Intel graphic cards
(915, 945 ...) and I would like to test plymouth if it is possible.
Now when I boot rawhide (Fedora 10) I don't get grub but only a black
screen and after that I see black screen with white-blue progress bar
(not impressed).
Do I need even newer intel drivers than ones in Rawhide?

Is there a way to use latest intel drivers (if needed) or to somehow
enable plymouth and to see how it should work?
 

Unfortunately, the latest intel drivers don't do modesetting by default.

It's actually hard to enable modesetting for testing purposes too, because we don't write the pciids the card supports into the driver (for mkinitrd to find it).

Dave Airlie is going to fix that at some point, but right now intel users are stuck with a text splash.

To get to grub, hold down any key during boot up (say shift or ctrl).

Has anyone working on the changes considered a configuration item for grub|plymouth which would allow the admin to basically set 'HideGrub=NO' if they wanted it to always show up?
