Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

System boots up fine, but between plymouth and the login screen
displaying I see uninitialized graphics memory.  It always clears and I
get a proper login screen, but it looks bad from a user experience.

Plymouth is not displaying the graphical logo.  I either see the text
logo or just a blank screen.  So I'm wondering if perhaps plymouth is
leaving the GPU in an inconsistent state.

I didn't see this problem with this video card in my old desktop running
maverick, but it seems to be happening on this new system with natty; I
don't recall exactly when I first noticed it.
