Hi again,
One thing you will soon notice in F10 rawhide is that rhgb is no
longer around. We've blocked it and plan on replacing it for F10.
This is a continuation of our "BetterStartup" feature from a few
Fedoras ago (I would post a link but the wiki seems to be down).
The link is here,
fwiw:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBetterStartup
The replacement for rhgb will be a mixture of two things:
1) Starting gdm as early as possible and fitting it to give boot
progress before asking for login. This is somewhat in line with the
early-login prototype feature some of you may remember from several
fedora releases ago.
2) Hiding boot messages before gdm unless escape key is pressed. For
graphics hardware that has drm modesetting, we'll be able to show some
sort of pretty graphics, and for everyone else we'll show a very
simple text mode progress.
So after a bit of hacking on 2, we've come to the
conclusion that 1
isn't really necessary.
It looks really good to just keep 2 up until gdm would normally start.
We don't need to start it earlier in the boot process.
A lot of the bits are in rawhide now, but the graphical bits won't be
really testable until the drm modesetting drivers get added back to
rawhide.
