Before this commit we would skip preferred-mode selection if a video= kernel cmdline is argument, instead relying on the kernel to have activated all the outputs and then we would inherit those modes. But this relies on fbcon having initialized the outputs, which it does not do when deferred-fbcon-takeover is used. Deferred-fbcon-takeover is necessary for flickerfree boot, so this is now the default in many distros. Instead of relying on the kernel having setup everything for us, honor the video= mode selection by checking for modes with a DRM_MODE_TYPE_USERDEF flag before checking for modes with a DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED flag. Note that the DRM_MODE_TYPE_USERDEF flag is only ever set based on a video= argument. So on systems without a video= argument on the kernel cmdline nothing changes.

plymouth - graphical boot animation and logger Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers. The idea is that early on in the boot process the native mode for the computer is set, plymouth uses that mode, and that mode stays throughout the entire boot process up to and after X starts. Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup. For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls back to text mode (it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface). In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely occluded. After the root file system is mounted read-write, the messages are dumped to /var/log/boot.log. Also, the user can see the messages at any time during boot up by hitting the escape key. Plymouth isn't really designed to be built from source by end users. For it to work correctly, it needs integration with the distribution. Because it starts so early, it needs to be packed into the distribution's initial ram disk, and the distribution needs to poke plymouth to tell it how boot is progressing. plymouth ships with two binaries: /sbin/plymouthd and /bin/plymouth The first one, plymouthd, does all the heavy lifting. It logs the session and shows the splash screen. The second one, /bin/plymouth, is the control interface to plymouthd. It supports things like plymouth show-splash, or plymouth ask-for-password, which trigger the associated action in plymouthd. Plymouth supports various "splash" themes which are analogous to screensavers, but happen at boot time. There are several sample themes shipped with plymouth, but most distributions that use plymouth ship something customized for their distribution. Plymouth isn't done yet. It's still under active development, but is used in several popular distros already, including Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu and others. See the distributions page for more information.
