Comment # 9 on bug 1027702 from Josh Zimmerman

I was talking about how it displays the terminal login black full screen with a
blinking cursor before it starts x for several seconds after the service ok or
failed, etc startup screen if you are to press escape during boot.

I do not have Sse2 in my current opensuse 13.2 configuration so I can not
really say if that is resolved for other people with Tumbleweed or not. If you
can get plasma5 kwin5 or what have you to load on a Pentium three 785 MHz 32
bit 512mb ram 40 gb hdd, I'll get back with you on the results.Somebody gave me
the laptop after my desktop should have never been broke to start with.

So long story short, I can not test it, but others should know if this is an
issue in current versions of Tumbleweed.
