The fix posted by Mauricio Parra Casado worked on my ATI laptop (Maverick.) 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. The same is true for a linux distribution. -- 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
