On my Elitebook 6930p (Lucid Lynx, ATI Radeon, proprietary drivers), I was able to get rid of the problem using the instructions found here:
http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high- resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with- proprietaryrestricted-driver/ In short, I had to install the uvesafb driver and do some modifications to the grub configuration and the initrd image. The relevant portions of my /etc/default/grub now look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1152x864-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=0x0356" GRUB_LINUX16=true GRUB_GFXMODE=1152x864 -- Lucid: garbled video at boot on radeon 7xxx cards: bad color map due to 16-bit fb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564471 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
