I am aware that 1680x1050 is 16:10 and not 16:9. usplash chooses the aspect 
ratio that fits best. 16:9 is better than 4:3 for a 1680x1050 screen.

My patch will not fix the problem that usplash does not offer other
aspect ratios than 4:3 and 16:9. However, I just made sure that 16:9
really is 16:9 and not 64:27.

I hope we can have a more general solution in usplash some day. I will
have a look at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/64147 which I
have not noticed earlier.

Ad phillinux: 
Thank you for your comment!

Please list the files /etc/usplash.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb, and
/proc/cmdline

Try to compare the intrepid version with the jaunty version. Which looks better?
In my experience the intrepid version is squashed horizontally massively.

It may depend on the framebuffer. If you have a 16:10 screen, but a 4:3
framebuffer, then pixels will not be squares.
