That's impossible, unless its removal turns out to be a whole lot less destructive and more thorough than it is on Mandriva or Fedora. Nothing about Plymouth can make me happy. I'm only happy when traditional boot messages show up on tty1 same as before Plymouth and its predecessors, in the same non-GUI video mode that tty[1-6] ultimately use to print legible text.
I personally knows spyhawk, who start trying to package plymouth in openSUSE last year. There's a lot of step that need to be resolved to get it inside. First is seems to not work so well or even not at all with all proprio drivers like nvidia and fglrx. (Can free driver compete actually : it seems not in the 3d world and accelerated needs that our 2 main desktop need like kde4x and Gnome3x ) Then it need also quite amount of patch against kdm/gdm/lightdm/xdm and those seems to be the most problematic.
In the meantime spyhawk has to change some of his priority (work mainly) but confess that was a terrible time ...
One day perhaps I will have the final word about this story. But the first step is to find a brave (dumb?) contributors that are able to package plymouth and then we will be able to give it a try. Best time, next week in osc11, there's several packaging workshop, and you can meet most of the key people in Nuremberg.
ps : to those who mix a bit thing, we are using bootsplash actually for the whole start/end sequence. splashy is only used and linked against the suspend things. (and yes sucks actually) The install of the NVidia proprietary driver breaks the VGA mode passed to

We could package with the RPM fro the driver a small script that repairs that change so that the user sees no change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
