[Bug 545749] [NEW] 2.6.32-17 introduces new startup/bootup issues on Acer Aspire 4530

[Asif Youssuff]

Public bug reported:

With the new kernel, plymouth regresses to a text mode splash (if it
loads at all, it seemed to have loaded upon the first boot after
install, but hasn't appeared since).

Also, Xorg doesn't autoconfigure properly -- GDM starts up (I hear the
startup sound), but no video appears -- it loads up with a reddish color
of random pixels.

virtual terminals have issues as well -- most of the terminal is off of
the screen -- the viewable area is at the lower right, and nothing loads
up in the top half of the screen. Filing this report was a major pain
because of this.

If I create an xorg.conf, I can get into X, but I didn't do that for
this report, since Xorg autoconfiguration should work. If it would be
useful to attach files with a working Xorg, let me know.
