Also, another issue, I have pluymouth enabled with FRAMEBUFFER=y. After using the gmux patches, the size of the theme has become too tiny for an initial few seconds, then it gets normal. I tested this by compiling a kernel without these patches, and the bug got fixed. I also tried using acpi backlight using command line (that made me discover the `acpi_backlight=video` not working bug). Is that also related to some upstream bug?
