Can not reproduce with Mate. May related with lightdm or graphics card drivers. Is it same with Mageia 5 Beta 3?

I don't see this in Mageia 5 beta 3.
x64 with nvidia display drivers (340.76).

However, the screen does go blank twice during boot which I have always assumed is something to do with loading the display drivers. First goes blank when there are 3 'bubbles' above the Mageia logo, then a second time when all 5 'bubbles' have appeared immediately before the logon dialog appears.
I'm not bothered by this but then it's not flashing yellow :)
