Bug Description

Binary package hint: usplash-theme-ubuntu

System info: Dell Inspiron 510m, Intel Pentium M 1.5Ghz w/Intel 855GM integrated graphics, Feisty latest

My laptop cannot show usplash at 1024x768 or 800x600, and when using 640x480 the progress bar is misaligned (too far to the right). I'm attaching a photo.

conn@inspiron:~$ sudo usplash -c
usplash: Setting mode 1024x768 failed
usplash: Setting mode 800x600 failed
usplash: Using mode 640x480

Would it be possible to have the progress bar centered at this resolution? Thanks.

I have a similar problem with Gutsy (AMD64) on my system (Mainboard: Asrock 939-Dual-SATA2, Graphics: Geforce 7600 GS PCI-Express). When I boot with the Tribe 4 or Tribe 5 live CD, the splash screen looks very similar to Conn's screenshot, I am attaching photos below that I have taken my with my camera while booting (on the first one the flash was disabled, so it looks a bit distorted on the picture). I am unsure if the splash is also shown at 640x480 on my system ('sudo usplash -c' doesn't show any hint) but it is possible.
With Tribe 3 or previous versions I didn't experience this behaviour.

I have the same problem: Dell Inspiron 510m that only can show 640x480 usplash and have misaligned progress bar. Says it cant use 1024x768 nor 800x600 although X.org supports them just fined both when entering gnome. I as well are using feisty.

As of Gutsy it seems as the misalignment is gone, but its still just 640x480..

Progress bar is no longer misaligned at 640x480 resolution as of Gutsy final.

Sverre,

Thanks for the feedback, my system is still 640x480, but at least the progress bar is aligned. I'm closing this bug as it's solved, so if you want to report a new issue, open a new bug. However, it will be unrelated to usplash; I suspect it would need to be filed against the kernel.

You can also try enabling a framebuffer at 1024x768@16bpp (I forget the code right now, sorry), but Gutsy is having issues with loading framebuffer modules. See bug #129910.
