CC'ing Akien because, IIRC, he was the most motivated person around to get the boot splash perfect for Mageia 5, and I do not know whom to assign to. Not sure whether it is useful to address this before the stabilization snapshots, but Akien will know :-)

What splash screen are we talking about? The one during the first boot stage (plymouth), or the desktop manager splash when starting the DE? If the latter, what DE did you install?
The first boot stage.
To be absolutely correct: This laptop has two graphics: a Radeon and an Intel At boot the very first splash screen is OK, but this one disappears after a few seconds, there are two text screen messages on "radeon" and then (thus long before the DE) the 2/3 splash screen appears. This one stays on till sddm comes up. The graphic used is always (as in M5) the Intel one. You might remember I asked a quisetion about switching graphics on QA-discuss.
Do you mind attaching journalctl.txt that is the result of running, as root: journalctl -b > journalctl.txt

It seems to try to use radeon, anyway Does adding rd.blacklist=radion xdriver=intel to the (grub2) kernel options help?

I tried to add the options to the end of the linux boot line at boot time, but that does not make a difference. BTW: when such procedure works, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having switchable graphics??? And second: I have to correct something: after comparing with another PC, I see that the second splash screen is not reduced in size, it is just shifted about 1/3 of the screen to the lower right corner.

I thought you weren't using radeon, but saw it wasn't ignored when booting and wondered whether blacklisting it would change that and maybe rid you of the issue. > And second: I have to correct something: after comparing with another PC, I > see that the second splash screen is not reduced in size, it is just shifted > about 1/3 of the screen to the lower right corner. I don't have the slightest idea what can cause this. What is the output of lspcidrake -v | grep Card Do you mind attaching /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? The problem _only_ occurs between the Grub screen and SDDM, and it is _only_ a cosmetical problem, correct?

But " it is _only_ a cosmetical problem, correct?" at first glance,yes. On second thought, not so sure. It might be connected with two other issues: the fact that this laptop boots rather slowly, and maybe underlying all two, the fact that the system does not correctly handle the Radeon to he point that this one is unusable once the system is operational.

Ah, yes, bug 17233 :-(
Yes, and bug 17995 also has a journal file of the same laptop.
I don't know which package to assign this bug report to, so assigning to all packagers collectively and hoping they'll figure it out, and reassign if needed.

Does this persist after a reboot? The plymouth background is dynamically updated now, so the initial resolution might be wrong.
