Comment 36 for bug 1370707

Hi,

I've also tried plymouth with seat->terminal != NULL and the seat patch from Debian:

diff --git a/src/libply-splash-core/ply-device-manager.c b/src/libply-splash-core/ply-device-manager.c
index dbc203d..e9f8519 100644
--- a/src/libply-splash-core/ply-device-manager.c
+++ b/src/libply-splash-core/ply-device-manager.c
@@ -313,7 +313,7 @@ create_seats_for_subsystem (ply_device_manager_t *manager,
           /* We only care about devices assigned to a (any) seat. Floating
            * devices should be ignored.
            */
- if (udev_device_has_tag (device, "seat"))
+ if (true)
             {
               const char *node;
               node = udev_device_get_devnode (device);

Now a seat is immediately created for /dev/fb0 because a frame buffer device is found but the terminal for that device is still NULL.
