The usplash.conf trick didn't work for me. X runs at 1280x1024, and that was what was originally in /etc/usplash.conf. I tried 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480, and 720x400 (which is what the text console apparently runs at). I tried doing sudo update-initramfs -u and sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash. During shutdown, usplash will usually appear. The only case where it doesn't is for the 1280x1024 case. During startup, I have been unable to get usplash to ever appear.
The monitor is a Dell E171FP and the video card is a Radeon RV200 QW [Radeon 7500], again connected via a VGA cable. I believe something's up with detection of the monitor's refresh rate, because unless I manually specify VertRefresh=60 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, X will attempt to run at 75 hz (though the monitor can handle this). Attached will be the output from running [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo get-edid 2>get-edid.txt | parse-edid > parse-edid.txt -- Usplash in edgy results in out of range error https://launchpad.net/bugs/64487 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
