Bug Description

After the last upgrade, usplash (version 0.4-30) uses frequency not supported by my monitor (LCD 17", it display a black screen with a message stating the frequency is out of range), even though the resolution listed in /etc/usplash.conf (1280x1024) is supported by it (I'm using it under X). This worked perfectly with the previous version of usplash.

My dell tft monitor says to me usupported resolution optimal resolution 1280x1024x60Hz . Possibly the frequency is 75Hz. I get the same under X if I use the vesa driver. With the one for my card (ati) the 75Hz are working.

Try this at the command line:

sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf

It should look similar to the following:

# Usplash configuration file
xres=1024
yres=768

If you make changes, make sure you issue the following command:

sudo update-initramfs -u

Changed in usplash:
importance: Undecided → Low
status: Unconfirmed → Needs Info

After reading bug #60621, I don't know if this bug is really a duplicate of it. On my machine, usplash is working correctly, it is just using a mode 1280x1024 @80Hz, which is not supported by my screen (it only support 1280x1024 @60Hz).

Setting 1024x768 solves the problem.

Changing to 1024x768 does not work for me. I still get a black screen with a OSD message from the monitor indicating that the frequency is out of range.
