I believe this is not related to bug 27837. There are two problems. One seems to show up in dapper, another is showing up in edgy. The dapper problem is that linux requires a boot option to set the resolution for usplash to work under some configurations. The edgy problem is that /etc/usplash.conf is sometimes generated with incorrect values for the card/monitor configuration.
The solution to the edgy problem seems to be to modify /etc/usplash.conf and set xres to 1024 and yres to 768. I added a number of comments to bug 64487, but I think this should be the canonical report for the edgy problem, so I'm going to mark a bunch of dupes directly. -- screen goes into power save during boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/48593 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
