Mike, In response to your above comment, I am experiencing the same problem as Åskar with the Hardy release candidate.
I did follow your directions ("sudo rm /etc/usplash.conf && sudo aptitude reinstall usplash"), which resulted in my /etc/usplash.conf changing to the following: ----- # Usplash configuration file # These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs. xres=1280 yres=800 ----- 1280x800 is the proper resolution for my monitor. Previously the /etc/usplash.conf resolution was 1024x768, which resulted in an oddly stretched splash screen. However, even with usplash set to that 1280x800 and update-initramfs being properly updated, the splash screen is now off-center and oddly distorted. I set it back to 1024x768, as it's at less distorted. -- probe screen resolution at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
