Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-sis

When I boot Lucid on my notebook with SiS graphics card I'm not only
getting the divided screen outside of X but also a very ugly Plymouth
screen showing only 4 colors (screenshot: http://forum.kubuntu-
de.org/index.php?topic=13621). I also get the error message "mountall:
could not connect to Plymouth".

When I add "sisfb" to /etc/modules and use "video=sisfb" added to the
kernel parameters I get a normal non-divided screen and instead the
message "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" - and no Plymouth
bootscreen at all. On shutdown I get the Plymouth screen in full color.

For lspci-info etc. please look at Bug #521018.
