I checked out the source and found that usplash and the theme choose a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is good. However the theme uses the image usplash_1365_768_scaled.png Whatever is the idea behind the scaling, it doesn't work. The image appears to be shrunk horizontally. I just made usplash_1365_768_scaled.png a symlink to usplash_1365_768.png and I get a nice usplash-image. (The progress bar is not centered now, I should adapt some parameters...)

A fixed package can be found at https://launchpad.net/~leonard-michlmayr/+archive/ppa Please test it and report your results. (Even if you have a different screen resolution.) For high resolution wide screen configurations usplash-theme-ubuntu 0.19 will display an boot screen image that appears to be squeezed horizontally. How it is fixed in jaunty: usplash-theme-ubuntu 0.20 has fixed this problem by choosing the correct image for high resolution wide screen. Version 0.19 chose usplash_1365_768_scaled.png, version 0.20 now chooses usplash_1365_768.png. Some parameters for the geometry of the progress bar and text box have been adapted. Minimal patch: a minimal patch is attached to this bug report. TEST CASE: edit /etc/usplash.conf to contain xres=1680 and yres=1050, use the the boot option vga=873. (You will have to use an appropriate screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio.) Example hardware: Compal FL90 laptop with a 1680x1050 wide screen panel and an nvidia 8600 GT. Use grub with vga=873. A fixed package can be found at https://launchpad.net/~leonard-michlmayr/+archive/ppa Please test it and report your results. (Even if you have a different screen resolution.) Regression potential: the package has an important influence on user experience, but no influence on the system. Therefore I think the change does not have much potential of negative side effects. For the package itself, some users might experience a regression, if the configured screen resolution does not match the real aspect ratio. (I will test this.)

2009-03-09 10:39:13 Martin Pitt usplash-theme-ubuntu: statusexplanation This doesn't meet the SRU criteria for updates (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates). Given how brittle usplash is in general, I'd rather not touch it in stable releases for cosmetical bugs.
