Public bug reported:
Boot splash is supposed to be a brown screen stretched to the whole
screen. On my laptop the screen is blank, with five white stripes
blinking within a 640*480 (I guess) box in the middle.
Specs:
SONY PCG-SRX55C (China market model, which should be comparable to SRX99/87 etc)
PIII M / 256M / i810 card shared memory
Software:
Kernel: 2.6.17-386/generic
Edgy updated to date
Maybe it is framebuffer problem (which may not be able to support my video card
to 1024x768) during boot.
On Drapper it is fine (black background with Ubuntu icon and messages), but i
understand the splash is confined in middle 640*480 square.
My solution: delete "splash" in grub config and no boot splash and no
problem (which is not ideal).
Suggestion:
1. Go back to Drapper splash; and
2. Use black background for splash (unless you are sure that splash will work
fine on all supported machines to fill the whole screen, because if resolution
is forced to shrink, there will be problem of black background with smaller
brown box on LCDs).
