Bug Description
Binary package hint: usplash
Hardy Alpha 4, on a Compaq Presario 701EA laptop with Savage TwisterK graphics and a 1024x768 LCD.
The usplash graphics are rough/coarse/
update: This bug is caused by the postinst file of usplash which creates configuration files based on the debconf values of X, which does not exist any more in Hardy because of xrandr 1.3. Usplash would need to automatically detect the screen resolution at boot time. However, this will not be possible for Hardy so the only partial/temporary fix is to detect the screen resolution in usplash.postinst if X is running. This will only fix the problem for LiveCDs.

This could be bug #150930 that has resurrected, but I have to check "Screens and Graphics". For sure, X is using 1024x768 like it should.
