Comment 52 for bug 526892

Jacopo Moronato - I don't mind the 16 color too much, though it doesn't look anywhere near as good as the Karmic splash with the proprietary drivers. However, I only get the graphics on shutdown. The boot screen is just black and white text (it was misaligned color text before I updated to plymouth 0.8.1-1)

BTW That link didn't work when I tried - Blogger says 'Sorry, the page you were looking for in the blog Web Upd8 does not exist."
