1. plymouth does not show up. Instead, a text-mode progress bar is displayed.
2. GDM comes up, but low resolution
3. on first login, X seemed to crash, GDM comes up again. This time low resolution again but quite strange 1920x1024 aspect ratio
4. booted into desktop with this strange resolution (no garbage this time)
