[Edgy] Usplash doesn't fill the whole screen

Screenshot of the problem, taken with my digital camera. As you can see, Usplash doesn't fill the problem completely.

My /boot/grub/menu.lst. I don't know if this could be useful...

Information details about my system:

- CPU Athlon XP 2200+
- 512 MB RAM
- Motherboard MSI K7N2G-ILSR, nVidia nForce2 chipset
- Integrated video card nVidia GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU
- Monitor CRT 17" Samtron 75 E

"sudo lspci -v" results.

cat /etc/usplash.conf

ideal is

xres=1024
yres=768

if you change it, make sure you run

sudo update-initramfs -u

afterwards. once you have done this, do you still have a problem?

Great! My /etc/usplash.conf contains:

# Usplash configuration file
xres=1280
yres=1024

I changed it to 1024x768 as you said, then sudo update-initramfs -u, and now looks great :)

So it seems that the bug is about:

a) bad generated configuration file (1280x1024 instead of 1024x768), or
b) usplash must fill the screen completely in each and every resolution, but fails in 1280x1024.

What do you think? It deserves a new bugreport? Or changing the description of this one?

It is good the way it is. For me, mine was 640x480, which was ugly as well on a 21" monitor.

Actually maybe you could change the description if you feel like it to something like

[Edgy] /etc/usplash.conf provides wrong resolution

something like that ;)

There is a catch-22 here:

The config file simply gets the largest value from the debconf database, but know nothing about the available themes,

The themes don't know the available resolution.

For edgy+1 we may be able to change the configfile to include all supported resolutions, so usplash can be more intelligent.
