Plymouth startup with fglrx

This is by no means a fix for supporting your resolution, just a workaround to see a graphical startup rather than lines...


Start with sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
Edit grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=792"
For vga codes -the essential part- look here
Then, echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash

Last but not least sudo update-grub

To choose from alternative plymouth startups
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u
