I've try the "usplash stop" patch. It works fine (with a intel 845 graphics device).
Before applying this patch, I had to restart the computer about 3 times to got the gdm screen (without changing anything, just restarting with reset). Each time it doesn't load, I can see a strange image at the bottom of the screen and the cursor moving after few seconds. Then the monitor switch off and on (displaying the strange image). Then the monitor switch off and on again but doesn't display anything. -- usplash: blank screen. does not switch to gdm / kdm https://launchpad.net/bugs/81474 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
