I reinstalled Gusty several days ago.After boot from CD, I found there was no resolution settings for usplash in the /etc/usplash.conf file.so after finishing the installation,I cleared the resolution settings for usplash by editing the usplash.conf file, then ran the command `sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r``. Now my usplash.conf file is :
#Usplash configuration file
xres=(blank)
yres=(blank)
Now there is no black screen in the booting process during which the actual resolution is 640*480.Before this re-installation ,I had tried the two ways follow below,but neither of them worked:
1,to edit the usplash.conf file ,set the resolution of usplash as 640*480,800*600,1024*768or 1280*1024 ,then run the command `sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r``;
2.to use the startupmanager.
My vga card is Intel 845 with only 8MB on-chip frame buffer size, and I use the i810 driver.and I have set the 1280*1024 resolution for my 17" LCD.
