Public bug reported:
I am installing Ubuntu on an old Aspire 1400XV. The splash screen worked on the
live cd but now all I get is a black screen by default. The machine does boot
properly, there is just no splash screen.
I presume this is because by default the framebuffer is set to vga=785, I think
this because explicitly setting the framebuffer to this value via grub has no
effect. Setting the framebuffer to vga=788 and vga=791 makes the splash screen
appear but it is off-centre. The higher value seems to be closer to having the
splash screen near the centre. However trying vga=794 doesn't work. I just get
the error:
"Undefined video mode number: 31a"
This is on 8.10 but I have been upgrading from 7.10.
