    Plymouth load screen producing video artifacts on higher resolutions

    I have a problem with Plymouth. It works pretty well on low res, but on higher resolution some strange video artefacts appear - see attachments.

    I use ATI proprietary drivers, if it has something to do with it.

    The resolution is set in /etc/default/grub like this:
    Code:
    GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
    
    GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768x32
    edit: reducing colour depth doesn't help /end edit

    I don't know whether it has anything to do with the current problem, but Plymouth used not to appear at all until I followed these instructions (or actually I took them from another thread but I can't find it at the moment and these are the same).

    Sorry for the quality of the screenshots. I don't know whether it's possible to take them during booting so I've taken these photos with a mobile and retouched in gimp to remove reflections (more or less), and since I'm no pro photographer nor photoshop/gimp master they look as they look. They should do to demonstrate the problem, though. And the problem is these green and red glows.

    Same problem here.
    I am using a Dell D600 with the ATI Radeon driver.
