Comment 9 for bug 245437

Without wishing to seem overly pedantic, 1680x1050, 1365x768 (and other increasingly common resolutions like 1440x900 and 1280x800) are 16:10, not 16:9. My laptop is 16:10 and has always shown the usplash image squashed vertically (I have never made any attempt to configure usplash, and I'm pretty sure that one generally shouldn't assume people will).
I'll test out the jaunty upload and see how it looks :)

(IME uplash always gets things right on 4:3 screens and 16:9 screens, but I've not tested it beyond 1920x1080)
