<p>An update that contains one feature and has four fixes can now be installed.</p>
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>This update for plymouth fixes the following issues:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use frame-buffer in vmware VM platform, since the system use vesa,
plymouth DRM driver intial out of time, and the cutomer also
feedback frame-buffer works fine (bsc#1234643).</li>
<li>Bochs and cirrus DRM drivers are fully compatible with plymouth.
Remove the workaround that forces them to use fbdev.</li>
<li>Resolves the blank screen when disabling fbdev interfaces (bsc#1232727, bsc#1234643).</li>
<li>Support the 2nd monitor hotplugin to the system in random order (bsc#1231214).</li>
<li>Tumbleweed following upstream, which already support "--runstatedir", don't need this
modification anymore (jsc#PED-5841).</li>
<li>The current edition of autoconf on SLE-15-SP6:GA don't support "--runstatedir" yet, so
reverse plymouth compile option to the old "--withruntimedir" (jsc#PED-5841).</li>
<li>Properly list services as parameters to:<ul>
<li>populate-initrd: Install label-freetype plugin into initrd if</li>
<li>ply-device-manager: Add plymouth.force-frame-buffer-on-boot</li>
<li>systemd: Add mkinitcpio support to</li>
<li>ply-device-manager: Also ignore SimpleDRM devs in coldplug</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Avoid invalid script commands failure (bsc#1203147).</li>
</ul>
