Bug Description

I have 16:10 monitor which I use with BeagleBoard. When I boot with 1280x800MR-16@60 screenmode I have display which fits screen nicely.

But during installation of ubuntu from preinstalled image I got X11 in 1280x720 resolution which does not fit on my display.

This also affects omap4 images. Essentially, the only thing that should be changed on the cmdline by jasper is the root= parameter and maybe any parameters added after first boot. Existing parameters should be left as is, as some are needed for developers and debuggers.

summary: - [omap3] Resolution should be taken from /proc/cmdline if provided
+ Resolution should be taken from /proc/cmdline if provided

The issue is not that jasper mangles the provided commandline, but that it completely ignores it, and sets hardcoded values. Better would be to parse and update the commandline, although this may require an additional tool, as string manipulation in busybox is a bit annoying.

The attached patch attempts to do some preservation of the prior commandline, using sed and expr, but it's fragile, and untested.

This bug was fixed in the package jasper-initramfs - 0.32

---------------
jasper-initramfs (0.32) maverick; urgency=low

  * take options for resolution of omap3 from commandline (LP: #605831)
  * also hand over serial console if it is set as last console= arg
  * As TI marketing requested, change the TI logo color in the PPA icon to
    black
