Re: Proprietary Nvidia Drivers And Plymouth
From the wiki
Plymouth primarily uses KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) to display graphics. If you can't use KMS (e.g. because you are using a proprietary driver) you will need to use framebuffer instead...
...
If you have neither KMS nor a framebuffer, Plymouth will fall back to text-mode.
I'm guessing Head_on_a_Stick is also going in the direction of framebuffer,
but take a look at Uvesafb if you haven't already set up a framebuffer.
