Yes, the attached archive contains two sets of logs, both without vga=799 or any other workaround in place. One has "quiet splash" appended to the boot line, which landed X on tty2 (as expected, and would likely crash eventually). The other has "plymouth:debug" appended to the boot line, which landed X on tty7 (and is generally more stable, rarely crashing--another near workaround). I've included udev, /proc/fb and any relevant X/gdm logs. HTH!

Yes, with vga=799 I see a text-only splash.
