08:25 < slangasek> architecture-wise, can you tell me what is *supposed* to be 
happening in this case?
08:26 < Keybuk> plymouth is supposed to switch to vt7 and use a text plugin 
that keeps the screen black until 
                passphrases are required, etc.
08:27 < Keybuk> this isn't all quite right yet
08:27 < Keybuk> we're basically not doing things architecturally the same way 
as RH
08:27 < Keybuk> we always want plymouth running
08:27 < Keybuk> and always want plymouth to have an active splash screen
08:27 < Keybuk> at some point we just want to switch from that being a very 
plain text one to being a graphical one
08:27 < Keybuk> (when we have the graphics driver)
08:28 < Keybuk> either way, we should be always on vt7
08:29 < Keybuk> it's not so much writing code, but calling the code we have in 
the right order
08:31 < slangasek> so plymouthd would automatically switch vt and blank screen 
on startup, and then look for a fb on 
                   --show-splash?
08:31 < Keybuk> slangasek: don't really know yet
08:31 < Keybuk> I think that's probably easiest and minimum effort
