It should be set to the same as your X screen resolution at install time but I've had occasions where it's been set to something way beyond the graphics card and monitor capabilities on laptops and desktops.
The setting is in /etc/usplash.conf. If you change it, you must run 'sudo update-initramfs -u' (no quotes) for it to take effect. Hope this helps Tom -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
