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§ion=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.
