[Bug 64147] Re: ubuntu logo stretched up on widescreen
>From my other report: Usplash shows at 1024x768 when my monitor is 1280x1024 = incorrect proportion This means that everything is of the wrong proportions, as 1024x768 is 4:3 and 1280x1024 is 5:4. The circular Ubuntu logo looks squashed like an egg. This is not a problem on my other system, which up until yesterday was running the same version. My hardware: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (R350) + Iiyama ProLite E431S (DVI) Working hardware: ATI Radeon 9000 Pro + Iiyama (can't remember specific model, can check later if needed) (DVI) So both configurations are in DVI. Can someone help me debug this so we can get this fixed and polished up? I'll take a look at the usplash configuration on the "correct" system. Mine is set to 1024x768 with no vga kernel option, and it seems that it is actually working. Maybe the framebuffer drivers for the two cards behave differently when asked to put a 1024x768 FB on a 1280x1024 screen... Though in X, the display is stretched to fit so I don't know. ** Summary changed: - ubuntu logo stretched up on widescreen + ubuntu splash logo stretched on non-4:3 displays ** Summary changed: - ubuntu splash logo stretched on non-4:3 displays + ubuntu splash logo stretched on non-4:3/16:9 displays -- ubuntu splash logo stretched on non-4:3/16:9 displays https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Should this bug not have a low "low" importance rather than "medium"?? It does not render anything unusable - only makes booting not look as nice as it could due to distortion. -- ubuntu logo stretched up on widescreen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

4:3 is no longer the most popular aspect ratio nowadays. 5:4 is used in almost every 17" and 19" LCD, which are the most ordinary monitors everywhere. Shouldn't this splash screen be SVG based or something similar so it doesn't need a individual image for each resolution or aspect ratio? -- ubuntu logo stretched up on widescreen https://launchpad.net/bugs/64147 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same problem with an Asus notebook. My fix was: 1. changed /etc/usplash.conf to 1024x768, which fixed the shutdown splash. 2. removed vga=771 from /boot/grub/menu.lst, which allowed the entry in /etc/usplash.conf to be used at bootup. -- ubuntu logo stretched up on widescreen https://launchpad.net/bugs/64147 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've been experiencing the same issue for a couple of days, though usplash was correct before.

16:9 is a standard TV format for widescreens. 16:10 is a more widespread format amoung computers, especially laptops! I found some popular formats for widescreens and their respective ratios. See for yourselves: 1280 x 768 = 16:9.6 (closer to 16:10 than 16:9) 1280 x 800 = 16:10 1366 x 768 = 16:9 1440 x 900 = 16:10 1920 x 1200 = 16:10 4 out of 5 of these resolutions are 16:10. Unless I'm not seeing something here, 16:10 should be in there instead of 16:9. Although, having both would obviously be even better. :-) -- ubuntu logo stretched up on widescreen https://launchpad.net/bugs/64147 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
