usplash gets messed up when using vga=791 in Feisty

[Jason]

Binary package hint: usplash

When I pass vga=791 to kernel options, usplash resolution gets messed up. The logo gets BIG and appears in bottom right part of the screen. Actually it's not only vga=791 that causes this problem. All graphic modes I've tried have the similar influence on usplash. I have also tried installing another usplash theme which as well gets messed up, convincing me that the problem goes with usplash itself.

I'm using a ATI mobility radeon X1300 card. This didn't happen in Edgy.
If you need more information, please tell me (would be better if you also tell me how to get it).

Try changing the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to match the vga=* resolution that you're setting up ('dmesg | grep "vesafb: mode"' if you're not sure what resolution you're picking) and regenerate your initramfs with "sudo update-initramfs -u".

Thanks for pointing that out! How could I forget to check .conf's in /etc !

Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu. Can you confirm if changing /etc/usplash.conf to have the good resolution fixed your problem?

[Jason (jasonxh)]

Yes it does. Sorry if I didn't make it clear in the previous post.

Thanks for your fast confirmation! :) Since this bug does not happen with a correct configuration, I set the status to invalid. Thanks for your contribution to ubuntu and feel free to report any other bugs you might find!

The configuration is generated automatically by the usplash package so it would be good if usplash would try to find out if there is a vga= option and determine the resolution to use from that, overriding what it detects from X.
