Hi Colin,

I have added an --help option to plymouth-set-default-theme which has
been merged into master:

<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/>

This explains the basic functionality. You may also try the recently
added packages in Ubuntu Lucid (10.4 Alpha):

<http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=plymouth&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all>

What you need, is to enable kms at boot time:

<http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting>

If you have a radeon, the option will be:

options radeon modeset=1

if I remember correctly.

If you install the packages from Ubuntu, all you need should be:

plymouth-set-default-theme <theme>

then

/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd

both as root.


Then try to reboot and see if it uses plymouth. Feel free to ping me
back if you can't get it working. I haven't yet have the time to write
the manpage, but the  --help option in the current version of plymouth
should be a good start.


Adrian
