At the attached patch I included a patch already available at upstream, that adds a new generic driver for the drm renderer plugin.
This generic driver is supposed to work on radeon, nouveau and omap, and any other generic use case using the drm driver. As the plymouth package implies at a bunch of ubuntu specific changes, I decided to just backport this patch instead of rebasing it on top of 0.8.5.1. I also had to include another fix related with the new libdrm package (2.4.38), which changes the old nouveau library to libdrm_nouveau1, otherwise the nouveau plugin would be linked with the wrong libdrm nouveau implementation. And, as a side effect, I had to update the autoreconf.patch, making the debdiff quite large, but due differences on using a newer autoconf/automake than the one previously used when the patch was previously updated. Tested on Pandaboard and I can now see the splash screen during boot. Will attach plymouth.log as well. ** Patch added: "debdiff with the new generic driver for drm renderer plugin" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1018907/+attachment/3263428/+files/plymouth_0.8.4-0ubuntu2.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1018907 Title: plymouth in quantal on arm does only boot with black screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1018907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
