Bug Description
Binary package hint: usplash
When booting either Tribe 4 or Tribe 5 desktop cd, in both i386 and amd64 variants, progress bar is outsized (on my screen, extends over 16.8cm rather than the usual 10.5cm and is 1 or 2 mm taller) and is displaced to right of screen (i.e. it starts on the correct place + extra length is all to the right). Logo + "ubuntu" above the progress bar is correct size but resolution seems poor.
xorg loads correctly, but on examination /etc/usplash.conf contains no values for either xres or yres:
# Usplash configuration file
xres=
yres=
Normal values (i.e. for my installed amd64 Ubuntu Feisty system) are xres=1024 yres=768).
Graphics card is an nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000]
Monitor is a Compaq FP170
The most recent desktop cd to produce a normal usplash on my machine was the 2007-07-30 Daily Build (though that had problems of its own i.e. I needed to manually enter "startx" at a prompt in order to get xorg to load - this has _not_ been a problem for me on Tribe 4 or Tribe 5 desktop cds).

The visual effects described above would appear to be those reported under #131611 - sorry I didn't notice that one before posting this. But my observation is still that the Progress Bar is oversized rather than just misaligned.
