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

[Andrew Somerville]

Actually, it's better in 10.04, because at least it shows the logo, even
if it's big and ugly. It screws up in all kinds of interesting ways in
10.10 and 11.04.

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

Status in tools for generating an initramfs:
  New
Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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.
