Usplash was not working on my laptop (dell latitude c640, ATI Mobility 7500) but I had not got any segmentation faults.
The problem was that the /etc/usplash.conf was misconfigured for some unknown reason. Instead of 1024x768 it got entries for 1280x1024. After correcting this entry and reconfiguring the usplash (i.e. sudo dpkg- reconfigure usplash) every seems right. -- [edgy] usplash segfaults https://launchpad.net/bugs/56587 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
