[Bug 713088] Re: 10de:0429 plymouth boot screen corrupted with nouveau Quadro NVS 140M

[Christopher M. Penalver]

Marc Deslauriers, regarding your Bug Description:
"When using the nouveau driver, the boot screen is corrupted..."

Does the splash screen disappear and then you see the log in screen well
enough to login, or does it hang at the splash and does not continue to
the log in screen, or is the login screen also corrupted?

As well, changing package to linux as per sidebar E-Mail communication:
"It's probably a kernel bug. It's probably telling userspace that it supports graphics modes the hardware doesn't actually support."

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
