[Bug 781479] Re: [fglrx, solar theme] Plymouth boot in fallback text mode always

[Steve Langasek]

Similar to bug #793128, except this is with fglrx instead of nvidia and
the vesafb module does get loaded.  Perhaps this is a race condition
with the 'modprobe vesafb' returning before the framebuffer is actually
usable?

Title:
  [fglrx, solar theme] Plymouth boot in fallback text mode always

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  I have this  issue of plymouth starting in fallback text mode everytime. However, when i log out, i am able to see the graphics. 
  i have tried updating the initram using sudo update-initramfs -c -k all but it did not help.
  I think this is a bug.
