If vga=791 doesn't work for you, have you tried other values? You can try one of the following, and see what happens:
vga=758 (640x480 16bpp) vga=788 (800x600 16bpp) See more vga modes here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1541970 You should edit /etc/usplash.conf to change it to the same resolution as the vga mode passed to the kernel, and then: sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r` -- Latest usplash leaves my consoles corrupted https://launchpad.net/bugs/63558 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
