The issue with the framebuffer should be fixed with new usplash-version, which is already available in repositories. (was: bug #61718)
Note: "vga=791" is setting up a fb with 1024x768, so it can't display an 1280x800 usplash correctly. Concerning the keyboard issue: is it exactly the same like the bug mentioned? -- [edgy] TTY blank whith 'vga=791' and strange keyboard behaviour https://launchpad.net/bugs/63137 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
