Typically this visual transition entails an abrupt change to a black screen between plymouth and GDM. I assume that this affects over distributions and display managers. If the following post to freedesktop's mailing lists (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/plymouth/2009-June/000126.html) is to be believed* this need not be the case. With a few patches to both Plymouth and GDM they appear to have achieved a smooth transition of sorts. I'm not sure whether the Fedora developers approach is technically desirable, but the current situation which entails a somewhat jarring and abrupt transition to the display manager is sub-optimal in my opinion. *I have no direct experience of Fedora Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/727136/comments/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2012-06-08T20:55:52+00:00 Rstrode wrote: GDM now ships with a --enable-plymouth configure option.
