Bug Description
Binary package hint: usplash
On a dual monitor system, with the LEFT being the secondary (absolute +0+0) and the RIGHT being the primary (absolute +1280+0) using TwinView, the splash is sized to the primary monitor but starts displaying in the secondary (and overflows to the primary on the right). Happens this way with ATI/fglrx (HD4670) and nVidia/nvidia (9600GT).
It seems that when TwinView is set up and monitor positioning set, uspalsh never gets configured to offset it's display (or perhaps it can't).
Cosmetic only, but it looks pretty tacky :-)

This bug was assigned to usplash, but from the description I think this must be a bug in xsplash; usplash is run before X starts, and I think is incapable of interacting with TwinView settings whatsoever since that pertains to X settings - usplash simply starts full screen on the primary kernel framebuffer.
