In an attempt to switch to the native nouveau driver, I have entered the Additional Drivers settings applet, clicked "Remove" on the active "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver" and restarted the computer. The problem still persists; vbeinfo still does not report 1920x1080 as an available mode. I don't know if this rules out the proprietary NVIDIA drivers as a problem.
There are also no available BIOS upgrades for my particular motherboard. ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884672 Title: boot splash screen displays at incorrect resolution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/884672/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
