Comment 35 for bug 740011

The behavior I reported 1st May (high-res splash screen broken and message displayed) appears to be connected to fglrx.
On a netbook with AMD C-50 APU (Radeon 6250) I can reversibly (already tested three times) restore the high-res splash by disabling the fglrx driver.
My theory (correct me if I am wrong):
1) Video driver breaks high res splash screen
2) Messages that are shown do always occur, but are hidden with high-res splash.

I am using luks full system encryption so there is a password prompt after grub. Without fglrx the input is very nice, but with fglrx the splash is already broken and the prompt is console like. "TCO timer" message appears after password input.
