The resolution fallback feature in the new usplash version corrupts the screen.
usplash_svga_setmode falls back to a smaller resolution if the requested one fails, but usplash_setup doesn't update the xres and yres variables accordingly. The attached patch contains the following changes: • usplash_init and usplash_getdimensions are now called *before* choosing the appropriate theme. • usplash_svga_setmode prints a warning when it falls back to a lower resolution. • usplash_svga_set_resolution's behavior is fixed: it used to set modenum to a value too big by 1, so setmode tried 1152x864 first when 1024x768 was requested. ** Attachment added: "Resolution fallback fix" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4565498/usplash-resolution-fallback-fix.diff -- 1024x768 with nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE: "screen init failed" https://launchpad.net/bugs/62865 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
