Comment 19 for bug 246269

Not that I'm being pushy in any way, but was wondering if there was a planned fix (and rough timeframe) for this. I've gotten by for the most part by removing usplash (prior to this I was getting a completely blank screen, so I ssh'ed, apt-get removed, and rebooted, and voila I can see the gdm login screen), but in any case I presume it'll be resolved by the time 8.10 is formally released.
