After some more experimenting with different versions, I'm getting odd results. So feel free to ignore this report..

FYI, what I see is:

• as noted, commits before bb6355 work fine (ie up to 3.4-rc6).
• including commit bb6355, graphics freeze on the first transition after

grub (Plymouth?)

• the very next commit makes the (plymouth?) splash screen work, but the

greeter screen display is corrupted; ctrl-alt-f2 works - if pressed immediately

• this situation continues up until release v3.5^. But building v3.5 itself

works perfectly! Presumably I've done something wrong here..

• v3.6-rc3 displays the splash (plymouth?) screen fine, but instead of a

greeter screen, screen goes blank.

I'll try to make some more sense of this in the next few days - but suggestions are welcome.

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place - let me know if I should create a bugzilla entry or whatever.
