Thanks for the results from the script. Agreed, usplash needs to be fixed to properly resolve this bug. It was helpful for me to know if the script left things in a working state or not, which is why I asked if it temporarily fixed the problem.
Looking at the results, I see that nine of the sixteen palette registers point to the wrong color registers (mostly the ones for the brighter colors). This is not surprising since usplash doesn't restore the palette registers, which is the cause of bug 395374. Normally this would not cause the behavior that you see because the color registers that are incorrectly pointed to usually contain the same color values as the ones that are supposed to be pointed to. In your case, though, the values are different. (Possibly some color values were changed by your X Window driver, which would explain why you don't have the problem when the GDM daemon is not started.) If the unrestored palette registers are the only problem, then when bug 395374 gets fixed this bug will also be fixed. It is also possible that one or more extended registers of the Radeon may need to be restored by usplash. If that is the case, additional work will need to be done to fix this bug. Since it looks like this bug won't go away until bug 395374 is fixed, probably the best thing we can do now is wait for that bug to be fixed and see if that takes care of this bug too. If it doesn't, we (and/or others) can look into this further. -- Ubuntu boot screen causes virtual terminal display problems. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392959 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
