[Bug 188764] Re: probe screen resolution at boot
Mike,
In response to your above comment, I am experiencing the same problem as
Åskar with the Hardy release candidate.
I did follow your directions ("sudo rm /etc/usplash.conf && sudo
aptitude reinstall usplash"), which resulted in my /etc/usplash.conf
changing to the following:
-
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.
xres=1280
yres=800
-
1280x800 is the proper resolution for my monitor. Previously the
/etc/usplash.conf resolution was 1024x768, which resulted in an oddly
stretched splash screen.
However, even with usplash set to that 1280x800 and update-initramfs
being properly updated, the splash screen is now off-center and oddly
distorted. I set it back to 1024x768, as it's at less distorted.

Hi Åskar, this issue should no longer exist in Hardy. Note the "Fix Released" status. The patch will work fine for new users but for beta users, the configuration file needs to be recreated. Have you followed the instructions? The old configuration file needs to be deleted and usplash must be reinstalled, as stated above. See my previous post for instructions.

Alexander: the reason to use X tools is precisely so that we can take advantage of the probing already done at X server startup.

Alexander: What's the bug number? That sounds like a serious issue that should be fixed. There's really no reason why xdpyinfo shouldn't be workable here - although ideally it might make sense to step through the resolutions offered by xrandr until we find a VESA mode. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Colin Watson (kamion) Status: Won't Fix => In Progress -- probe screen resolution at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually, according to Colin comments, it does not work correctly yet when installing the computer with ubiquity, so further work is needed. However, it won't work for the alternate CD for Hardy.

[Bug 188764] Re: probe screen resolution at boot
Thanks Colin, great work so far. After a "sudo rm /etc/usplash.conf && sudo aptitude reinstall usplash", it looks great. I agree that this is probably sufficient for Hardy, however does this only work with LiveCD installs? What about Wubi? It seems like most of the people that couldn't fix this manually would be coming from the LiveCD or Wubi. If not, is there a way to detect the resolution in Windows and put it in the usplash.conf? It seems relatively safe to assume the Windows resolution is that user's preferred resolution, certainly better than assuming 640x480 anyway. Okay, thanks again, just wondering about Wubi. -- probe screen resolution at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Is there something wrong with using ddcprobe in postinst (whether X is running or otherwise)?

[Bug 188764] Re: probe screen resolution at boot
Warren Dumortier : The update fix the problem completely if you are using X when installing usplash (so it will not work from the alternate install CD). To test it, remove your /etc/usplash.conf and reinstall usplash. You'll see that usplash now creates a /etc/usplash.conf file that contains the good values. That's all we can do from now. The real solution is to probe automatically the good resolution at each boot and to stop using static configuration files (/etc/usplash.conf), but this won't happen for Hardy according to Matthew Garrett. -- probe screen resolution at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was there was an update but it still looks bad! If I understeand your solution, it's the same as I said: keep 640x480 and make the theme look better for 640x480, But could it look smaller/better, but I think that is the work of the artwork team to make the theme, right? -- probe screen resolution at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
