Re: [Bug 563878] Re: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver
All the work arounds are great, glad we figured them out. However this is a bug, not a bug to work around but a bug to be fixed. Its been many months since this issue has existed. Quite frankly I think it might be best to start looking into alternate means of splash screens besides plymouth since it is unfriendly with so many video card drivers, (or rather a few drivers that so many people seem to use).

Unfortunately my screen's native resolution wasn't available, but at 1024x768, it's still a lot better than before. I'd like to say to anybody that brushes this problem aside as unimportant because the boot splash is only seen shortly, that this is about QUALITY. If a car maker were to build a car that could run forever, but sputters and runs rough for 15 seconds after being started every time from the factory, nobody would call it a quality auto.
