Hey fellow Trisquel users, I might as well introduce myself since this is my  
first post. I'm Miga, and I started using Trisquel last year with version 4.1  
and have stuck to entirely Free Software when using GNU/Linux since. Now with  
that out of the way, the reason as to why I created this topic:

I just updated to Trisquel 5.0 early this morning, customized it a bit, and  
installed the experimental Mesa DRI (libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental). I have to  
use this if I want to have 3D rendering on my nVidia card, as it's the only  
way without installing a proprietary driver/firmware onto my computer.

Anyway, as soon as I installed this, I noticed that the Plymouth boot screen  
is a completely broken, garbled-up mess. It's only that way when booting up,  
when shutting down, it appears fine. This problem didn't happen on 4.5  
either.

It's not something that's really that important, but I like to have it since  
it looks nice, and I don't know if there's something I can attempt to see if  
I can fix it and make it display properly.

Thanks in advance.
