After asking the maintainer of usplash, creating a postinst script based on xrandr does not make sense, also ddcprobe does not make sense since X might be running. The real fix for that bug would be the same as bug 158048, usplash should ddcprobe the right resolution automatically at each boot.
** Changed in: usplash (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Summary changed: - [hardy]640x480 usplash on a 1024x768 LCD laptop + [hardy]640x480 usplash on all computers ** Description changed: Binary package hint: usplash Hardy Alpha 4, on a Compaq Presario 701EA laptop with Savage TwisterK graphics and a 1024x768 LCD. The usplash graphics are rough/coarse/grainy, because /etc/usplash.conf contains 640x480. After modifying /etc/usplash.conf to have 1024x768, it looks smooth and slick. - Still exist in Hardy alpha 6 + update : This bug is caused by the postinst file of usplash which + creates configurations files based on the debconf values of X, which + does not exist anymore in Hardy because of xrandr 1.3. Usplash would + need to automatically detect good resolution or to find another way to + gather needed informations to create a valid /etc/usplash.conf than + debconf variables from X. -- [hardy]640x480 usplash on all computers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188764 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
