Do the artifacts go away if you remove vga=795 from the kernel command line?
** Description changed: Binary package hint: plymouth The screen at boot up starts off as blank (black) after grub and switches to an aubergine (magenta?) with no animation. Artifacts are seen at the top of the screen for about (20 pixels or so). [I don't have a camera, hence unable to attach a photograph]. Then the screen refreshes to the login screen (gdm) -- here the display is fine.
