What happened to the boot splash trisquel in 4.5 ?

In 4.5 I only see 'Trisquel 4.5' and four dots in the middle of the screen. What happened to the nice Trisquel logo? Has it been removed or should it be there and its absence could possibly be related to my ATI graphics card?
I also have an annoying 'Cannot reserve MMIO region' message right in the middle of the boot screen, but that seems to be an Ubuntu problem as far as I can gather from an Internet search.

The absence of boot splash is probably related to the ATI card. Back when I used a X850XT I had the Trisquel logo while booting up displayed on black background and in 16 colors.
OK, so there IS supposed to be a boot splash. Hmm... Maybe I will install Slaine on my wife's HP laptop (without telling her of course, ha ha) - or just try the live CD on it. That laptop has an Intel graphics card so I will probably see what I am missing. I purchased my desktop with its ATI card before I became aware of the whole Software Freedom philosophy - isn't that sad...

It is sad. That's the same what happened to me. At some point I just got a nice pile of money and wanted to be able to play Half-Life 2, which was rather new back then, on highest settings. The X850XT even had this "recommended for HL2" sticker on it, so naturally I ended up buying one.
Now I've got myself a mainboard with the Intel GMA X4500 :) This is awesome, nice bootsplash, fast compiz effects on the desktop, lots of games are running with no issues, and the mainboard itself is actually pretty cheap.

I have the same problem here; have an ATI card, and bought the computer before becoming one of the "free software faithful" :)

I think it's called a "member of the church of emacs" ;)

I've never even tried Emacs (or ViM), so I guess that makes me a virgin saint. ;P
But I still have Windows installed on a separate partition "just in case". I guess I'll need to do my penance, then. :D

I keep Windows because I'm forced to use a version of Photoshop that's not running with wine (at least I didn't figured it out yet). Looks like we're going to do the penance together :P
