Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of using a splash screen then GRUB use
the same resolution and the same splash screen and it would transition
smoothly without any flicker or resetting of the screen mode, and then it
would go from there to Plymouth which would use the same splash screen, and
it would transition smoothly to the login manager.
