[Bug 540801] Re: X server starts before Plymouth, or a very short time after (no or brief splash)

[moray33]

I have problems with the Plymouth since I started using Kubuntu 3 years
ago. I have a nVidia GeForce 8400.

Depending of the system version, the plymoth was only text or had a wrong resolution.
In 12.10 with the 304 drivers I had wrong resolution, with 310 only text. Now in 13.04 with 304 310 and 313 drivers I only have text in the Plymoth.

I don't know how much difficult is solve this, but this bug exists for
YEARS. It gives bad image to the users, and the importance shouldn't be
so low to developers since it's supossed that Ubuntu gives importance to
a good apperance.

Regards.
