It's been like that for years... but you can also pass "vga=0x###" if you don't have KMS and you should see plymouth theme without issues, though in this case the screen will flicker 1 time. In case people are not aware, the terminology 'flicker' is used to describe a mode change.
So, it doesn't have to go to text mode, it can go to low-res/slow vesa modes.
Yes, but you can also go to text mode if you like. So for all of those who don't want plymouth.
If it can be configured to reliably work like that, it solves quite a few complaints on this thread.
Plymouth requires almost no configurations. For a end user the only configuration is made through a script/wrapper supplied with plymouth.
