And if I am not mistaken, Jeff Mahooney has done it here:

It does work with Catalyst as long as you have the vga=0x??? entry, in
Fedora and openSUSE at least (manual install).

GDM in openSUSE 11.4 was already patched for it if I'm not mistaken.
KDM required the patch to be re-writted in a proper way because it was
a nasty hack, I'm not doing it, because I don't even use the bloody

I'm not sure on the progress with Jeff, but it seems that even systemd
integration is done. See above.

If you allow me a flame... So much care about systemd and too much
focus on having a faster booting system, and you leave the crap
software which takes 2 whole secs for a dumb splash ? :)
