When I boot my laptop, first acer(my motherboard) logo appears and a cursor flashes and the screen refreshes once and shows solus operating system login sign and it logins. This is the thing it used to be on a fresh install and should to be. But after 4.13.4or5 a small glitch appears on a screen refreshes i.e. between two cursor flashes. But now on 4.14.4 the glitch is even more all other the screen.
But it has no affect after the system has booted. Would you please remove this?

So - Plymouth is out of the question because frankly its a chunky monkey.
What I'm looking to do to allow a properly silent boot is to patch our kernel with the new SUSE bootsplash patches,
which allow a framebuffer-backed boot splash during early boot. This is one part of the problem and would help
with the flickering.
I'm also going to try to ban KMS/DRM during early boot and leave the modeswitch until X changes the tty, which
will actually help with another problem we have. The DRM modules cause race conditions during early boot which
makes it nigh impossible to have nvidia-drm.modeset=1 or even a simple usable vfio implementation.
I'm going to make this part of the Silent Boot work

@ikey any chance to make nvidia-drm.modeset work at all? With xorg 1.19 and latest Nvidia drivers enabling that + few other parameters get rid of the screen tearing when using always-on Nvidia graphics card.

I am on AMD Radeon R5 graphics (more specifically Acer Aspire ES1-521) for information if that helps. :)

The graphical glitch was gone when I booted this iso today from fresh install. ( I was on Fedora before).
Thank you Solus Team.
It can be closed now.
