Newer versions of the .iso should eliminate these issues on some (probably not all) of the machines during the liveCD bootup process. However if there is a fix (I'm assuming its most likely a config file, as opposed to a newer version of a binary), we should be able to port this to current installs. If it is indeed a newer binary I'd hope that it becomes available via an update sometime soon seeing as how this issue appears to be fairly widespread.
Orange2k, I was hopeful that your solution would work for me. It is taking a different approach, at least somewhat, than what we have been doing thus far. I am however sad to report that I am still w/o a splash screen or even a framebuffer working properly. When I get some time later I may try using 16bit depth as per your solution at some other resolutions. I have only tried it at my monitor's native resolution (1280x1024).
