Comment 6 for bug 127535

I just tried removing "quiet splash" (the -- is still there) and going to a resolution of 1600x1200 in GRUB. I just see nothing during the bootup process, just a blank screen. But: When booting without "quiet splash" in 1600x1200, GNOME comes up! Maybe this is kernel related, that the framebuffer device doesn't start properly? I didn't have this with Feisty, it worked out of the box with 1600x1200 bootup. Only thing I saw is that the shutdown bootsplash doesn't work, I see a "destroyed" background image when shutting down from GNOME.

I verified a second time, and when removing "quiet splash", it works, when leaving it in, it doesn't work.

And a little correction: When doing with quiet splash, I see no starting dialogue (this one doesn't come up also when doing without quiet splash), and I see the normal background, not the wallpaper. Mouse cursor is visible. Switching to console leads to flashing, background is visible again, mouse cursor isn't.
