I think it should be possible to detect when there is a kms capable driver, and use plymouth then, and fall back to bootsplash/splashy/whatever to provide a nice graphical boot sequence for everyone. I don't object to plymouth, I object to dropping the standard bootsplash by default
plymouth says it can fall back to framebuffer.
Is that wrong? Or maybe not enough? Has anyone tested?
By the way, where did you see that it could fall back to a non-kms graphics mode?
Here[0], it says:
For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls back to text mode **(it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface)**.
