Comment 89 for bug 1970069

Seems it's fairly easy to make a working solution in initramfs-tools alone, but there's a compromise. If I only include tiny/simple framebuffer drivers in initrd then i915 starts so late that Plymouth doesn't use it, and bug 2054769 can occur on some machines. If I include all the current drm drivers in initrd then it bloats to 100MB, but at least i915 starts early enough (only just) to avoid bug 2054769.

I'm currently leaning toward only including tiny/simple framebuffer drivers and trying to solve bug 2054769 with additional heuristics in Plymouth itself (when the physical monitor dimensions are unknown under simpledrm). If nothing else, fixing this bug is more important than fixing bug 2054769 for all cases.
