I didn't try with ATI, but with NVidia works perfectly... This is what i've done:
1- Open a terminal and type this: $ sudo su and type your password 2- Install this: # apt-get install v86d hwinfo 3- Execute the next command on the console # hwinfo --framebuffer this shows a list of supported resolutions for you computer... in this example I use 1024x768x24 (use the resolution you want while it appears on the list of above) 4- Edit the grub file # gedit /etc/default/grub Then find the next line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it for the next one GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap" And replace this one #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 with this one GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 Save changes and close de Text Editor 5- Now edit this file by writting this in the console # gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and in the file that appears put this line at the end of the file: uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap After that, save the file, and close the editor. 6- Finally write this and hit enter # echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash Then do the same for: # update-grub2 and # update-initramfs -u That's all, reboot your computer and you should have your splash like you wanted :D If the resolution is low and ugly then probably you use a resolution not supported by your BIOS. Make sure you are using one of the listed resolutions when you execute the command: sudo hwinfo --framebuffer Hope you can get your splash, working as me :D -- Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563878 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
