High-color graphics on nVidia, ATI and other cards
--------------------------------------------------
Our default configuration uses low-color graphics on cards or drivers
for which "Kernel Mode Setting" (in-kernel graphics drivers) are not
available.
This is because the driver that permits high-color graphics tends to
cause issues with suspend and resume, and we opted to prefer that
working.
For nVidia and ATI users, the default "nouveau" and "radeon"
drivers are Kernel Mode Setting enabled, but do not always
provide 3D capability at the current time. By switching to
using the restricted/non-free nvidia-glx or fglrx drivers,
you will gain 3D capability at the loss of a high-color
splash screen.
You can however chose to enable high-color (and resolution) console
if you find it doesn't affect suspend/resume for you, or you don't
use that feature.
There are various methods of doing this, the most robust is the
following four steps:
Append video=vesafb to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in
/etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
sudo update-initramfs -u

Although, when totally up and running my desktop resolution is 1920x1080 or 1080p. I'm supper confused and frustrated at this point. All i want is an attractive boot screen! Also, on shutdown plymouth works. My selected theme is shown and is clear and un-pixelated, but has about a 2 inch black border around it. Im confused.......
