** Description changed: - Setting xres=1680 and yres=1050 will give a deformed usplash image. I checked out the source and found that usplash and the theme choose a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is good. However the theme uses the image usplash_1365_768_scaled.png - Whatever is the idea behind the scaling, it doesn't work. The image appears to be shrunk horizontally. I just made usplash_1365_768_scaled.png a symlink to usplash_1365_768.png and I get a nice usplash-image. - (The progress bar is not centered now, I should adapt some parameters...) + For high resolution wide screen configurations usplash-theme-ubuntu 0.19 + will display an boot screen image that appears to be squeezed + horizontally. - Hardware: Compal FL90 laptop with a 1680x1050 wide screen panel and an nvidia 8600 GT. - I use grub with vga=873. + How it is fixed in jaunty: usplash-theme-ubuntu 0.20 has fixed this + problem by choosing the correct image for high resolution wide screen. + Version 0.19 chose usplash_1365_768_scaled.png, version 0.20 now chooses + usplash_1365_768.png. Some parameters for the geometry of the progress + bar and text box have been adapted. + + Minimal patch: a minimal patch is attached to this bug report. + + TEST CASE: edit /etc/usplash.conf to contain xres=1680 and yres=1050, + use the the boot option vga=873. (You will have to use an appropriate + screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio.) + + Example hardware: Compal FL90 laptop with a 1680x1050 wide screen panel + and an nvidia 8600 GT. Use grub with vga=873. A fixed package can be found at https://launchpad.net/~leonard-michlmayr/+archive/ppa Please test it and report your results. (Even if you have a different screen resolution.) + + Regression potential: the package has an important influence on user + experience, but no influence on the system. Therefore I think the change + does not have much potential of negative side effects. For the package + itself, some users might experience a regression, if the configured + screen resolution does not match the real aspect ratio. (I will test + this.)
