Comment 48 for bug 60621

Following Richard's advice, I edited the conf file and did an update-initramfs. 1024x768 looks awful with the images wrapping around etc., but it does work. 1280x1024 and 1400x1050 (worth a shot...) do the same.

800x600 doesn't wrap but has awful black horizontal bands. It looks the nicest of them so that is what I have left it set to. Needless to say that Dapper's splash worked fine.

While none of those things are great, they are not really the subject of this bug report. I can therefore confirm that manually editing usplash.conf and updating initramfs seems to remedy the immediate problem.

As an aside, is a bug that has 19 duplicates and at least 49 people watching changes really still "low" importance?
