Bug description:
After upgrading to Intrepid, I noticed that usplash stopped working on my ThinkPad T61 with Intel 965GM graphics.  I see a flashing red screen with some variations in color.  I can't tell whether they correspond to any on-screen content.  If I wait long enough, X eventually starts, and the X driver is able to get the graphics adapter into a sane state.  However, switching back to a text console reveals that things are still garbled beyond recognition.

I booted back into 2.6.24 with the same Intrepid installation, and got a normal usplash display.  I didn't check switching to a text console there.
