So feel free to ignore this report.. FYI, what I see is: * as noted, commits before bb6355 work fine (ie up to 3.4-rc6). * including commit bb6355, graphics freeze on the first transition after grub (Plymouth?) * the very next commit makes the (plymouth?) splash screen work, but the greeter screen display is corrupted; ctrl-alt-f2 works - if pressed immediately * this situation continues up until release v3.5^. But building v3.5 itself works perfectly! Presumably I've done something wrong here.. * v3.6-rc3 displays the splash (plymouth?) screen fine, but instead of a greeter screen, screen goes blank. I'll try to make some more sense of this in the next few days - but suggestions are welcome. Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place - let me know if I should create a bugzilla entry or whatever.
