Please let me know what info to attach plymouth 0.8.4 openrc-plugin 0.1.2 Reproducible: Always

The boot completes, however not showing any splash. One issue might be that my nvidia card is not supported by nouveau, and thus KMS/framebuffer/DRM/... isn't working through the kernel. But Vesa should handle it IMO.
Still valid with latest version in the tree?
