[Bug 563878] Re: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver

[Steve Langasek]

In natty and above, it's possible to fix this by making sure we have
vesafb access to the framebuffer that grub2 passes us at boot time.
This needs one small fix in initramfs-tools for oneiric.

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia
  proprietary graphics driver

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi

  Before installing the Ati driver the logo in the splashscreen was
  sleek; after I enabled the proprietary driver, the logo became huge
  and ugly. It's only a small thing, but it's a bug nevertheless.
