I've got exactly the same problem. I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on a DELL Inspiron 9400 with a resolution of 1920 x 1200.
Looks like this problem only exists on DELL's with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. -- Corrupt splash screen on boot and shutdown since hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219751 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
