Thanks for these informations. Can you also try with another screen to see if the problem persist? I have a nVidia Corporation GeForce 8300 GS (rev a1) and this problem does not happen for me. My screen is 19 inch, a recent model.
** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Assignee: Saïvann Carignan (saivann) => (unassigned) ** Description changed: I think I this bug report belongs to initramfs-tools or usplash My girlfriends pc doesn't display the usplash. It only shows a blackscreen. Ubuntu boots fine. This is for Edgy with 2.6.17-10-generic I couldn't find anything obvious (to me) in the syslog. I'm *guessing* either the monitor isn't detected properly or there should be a added a time-out somewhere. The computer is not very fast P3, 1 ghz, 256 mb ram. She has an old 14" monitor. This is the relevant part of xorg.conf to give more information about the monitor: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" HorizSync 28-40 VertRefresh 43-56 EndSection I tried adding a time-out in initramfs-tools (based on this guide : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76309). It didn't fix anything. There's a chance I have to do it at a different place. + + Saïvann : According to comments, this bug seems to regularly affects 14 + inch screens. -- [usplash] black screen during usplash.
