[Bug 807472] Re: [nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GT]] bootscreen looks ugly

[Brendan Donegan]

It would be good if you could take a photograph of your boot screen and
post it here. There was a common problem with the splash screen being
corrupt but I thought it had been solved with most graphics cards. The
photo would determine if it's the same sort of visual problem or
something else.

Title:
  [nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GT]] bootscreen looks ugly

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  New
Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My bootscreen looks more kind  of abstract art, but no logo is
  identifiable. I just see colored blocks and lines. I did not change
  any bootscreen configuration. This seems to be a regression, because
  the bootscreen looked much better with the last Ubuntu version.
