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?
Yes, see below.
By the way, where did you see that it could fall back to a non-kms graphics mode? In all the docs for plymouth that I was able to find, it said DRM and KMS are requirements for graphics, and if that is not present you get a text mode boot sequence.
I just took a fedora 16 live CD and booted it in kvm, added "vga=0x317" and it booted in graphics mode perfectly fine (with flickering when switching to X, but that's nothing we can blame plymouth for). So yes, it seems to work fine.
