(hi Steve)
update:
Got a lot of upgraded packages over the last days, including X and a new kernel. Result is still the same, and still disappointing.
Loaded the new kernel and X yesterday, rebooted and everything worked fine. No screen corruption, vertical lines etc, Plymouth also doing exactly what it should.
Logged in, logged out, rebooted. No Plymouth, just vertical lines and unusable system. Killed X, but that would not help either.
So now I'm back at booting without KMS (using the 'nomodeset' option) which gives me a garbled screen. Luckily I can get past that by killing X and then everything works pretty well.

I really think the problems of this bug in combination with bug 509273
should be picked up and fixed, since it is the sort of 'does *not* work
out of the box' issue that drives people away from Linux back to
Winblows.

Importance = high
Serious regression

cheers
Tom
