Committed by Andrea Righi <andrea.ri...@canonical.com> 25.11.2019 14.56.25 +0100 commit be779101bc2fc3f675a1df11c4abaec017add984 Author: Andy Whitcroft <a...@canonical.com> Date: Wed Apr 16 19:40:57 2014 +0100 UBUNTU: SAUCE: vt -- maintain bootloader screen mode and content until vt switch Introduce a new VT mode KD_TRANSPARENT which endevours to leave the current content of the framebuffer untouched. This allows the bootloader to insert a graphical splash and have the kernel maintain it until the OS splash can take over. When we finally switch away (either through programs like plymouth or manually) the content is lost and the VT reverts to text mode.
