Well, looking for a bug similar to what I get I've found this though '0m on Jaunty standard, not LPIA, running on a eeepc 1000H.

Also, I cannot access to virtual terminal tty1 to 6 anymore. It all started since the new upslash was installed.

I nailed it down. It didn't occur to me when testing the previous update, since the 1280x1024 resolution is not affected.

Nice one Martin.
BTW, what about xubuntu, is it going to be affected also?

For the record, ubuntustudio usplash is unaffected.

I checked the xubuntu theme, and indeed it does have this problem.

The xubuntu usplash theme didn't change recently, so I guess it's a much less severe problem. It should still be fixed, though.

usplash-theme-ubuntu (0.23) jaunty; urgency=low

  * usplash-theme-ubuntu.c, t_animate_step_{16,32}: Use the correct image's
    width for calculating the number of pulsating steps. Previously, this
    triggered integer, and thus buffer overflows, which caused screen
    corruption and sometimes complete corruption of the VTs. (LP: #345269)

Hi,
I bought a TV last week from a website:www.hkeles.com. I have
received the product. The quality is very good. They also sell
phones,motor,psp and so on. Because of the financial crisis, their
products are very cheap. by the way, they only sell new and original
products .If you need these products, you can have a look . I think
you will get many benefits.
Greetings!
