[Bug 1162263] [NEW] Plymouth shows text only when switching to NVIDIA proprietary drivers in Xubuntu 13.04

[garybrlow]

Public bug reported:

OS: Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)
Version: 13.04 beta
Flavor: Xubuntu

As stated in the title, switching to NVIDIA  proprietary drivers in
Xubuntu 13.04 will render Plymouth in text mode only. I have experienced
this problem since 12.10 and as reported by other users in several
forums this affects AMD drivers as well. Using the default Nouveau
Drivers produces no problems, Plymouth graphical splash displays
correctly.

There are reported work arounds and suggested solutions but none have
worked for me so far. I was hoping this bug would be fixed in 13.04 but
still here it is.
