RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jiri Koten 2012-03-19 18:35:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have two graphics cards, onboard Intel and dedicated NVidia. If I set onboard graphics as the first display (in BIOS), I see no output from plymouth. The output is displayed on NVidia graphics display. Both grub menu and X session are displayed on onboard graphics display. 

The output is displayed if I blacklist the nouveau driver (boot with rdblacklist=nouveau).         

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plymouth-0.8.3-24.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set the onboard graphics as the first display. (in BIOS)
2.Boot up
  
Actual results:
No output

Expected results:
plymouth output displayed on the first display

Comment 1 Jiri Koten 2012-04-17 14:27:52 UTC 
The similar problem happens on Laptops with switch-able graphics, e.g. NVidia Optimus. On testing machine Thinkpad T520 (42435GG), there is option in BIOS where you can switch between discrete and integrated graphics or use both (Optimus). 

When I use the Optimus mode I don't see a graphical boot on the display. I see pre-boot msg and then X session. I'm able to switch to detailed, text mode.
When I boot with rdblacklist=nouveau, the graphical boot is displayed.

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
