Bug Description

I'm not sure if this is a usplash bug... Maybe this could be a framebuffer issue.

Just before usplash startup, just before system goes from text mode into vga16
graphics mode, I can see the following error messages:

insmod: error inserting
'/lib/modules/2.6.12-8-386/kernel/drivers/video/console/bitblit.ko': -1 File exists
insmod: error inserting
'/lib/modules/2.6.12-8-386/kernel/drivers/video/console/font.ko': -1 File exists
insmod: error inserting

insmod: error inserting
'/lib/modules/2.6.12-8-386/kernel/drivers/video/cfbsoftcursor.ko': -1 File exists

The best way to show the above messages is to use Alt-F2 and Alt-F1 to go away
the usplash graphical screen.

I can reproduce this issue in my two different computers, one installing Ubuntu
Preview 5.10 and the other installing Edubuntu Preview 510. In the both cases
the result is the same.

I don't know if this is normal or not :/ .

Cheers,

Ricardo.
