Hi Pelibali,
I've had the same problem with a machine having an on-board i810 graphic
card.
I did some investigation but I did *not* solve my issue :(
My only understanding was that this chip(set) would need a driver compiled
into the kernel to support a graphical boot. I must be probably too lazy to
do that, think I can bear the text-only boot until I buy I new one :D
Just to make sure we're on the same page, the machine goes into X just fine
once booted. So no graphic only at boot time until kdm/gdm/xdm appears.
Please find below some links that I found useful at the time:

Hi, I have a comp here to install for someone, but I can't get the fancy bootsplash running on it even with the worst graph. resolution and in 8-bit mode! Is there a way to have bootsplash on this kind of Intel-x onboard chips or no chance at all?! During install I had "similar" problems, while could chose exclusi- vely between text-based and 640x480 resolution. I attempted both SUSE 8.2 and 9.1 Prof.
Thanks, Pelibali
