Everytime I install Ubuntu, my usplash (the boot GUI) is 640x480. So here is howto make the usplash resolution fit your display resolution:
1. Open a terminal and type:
sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf
This will ask you for your userpasswd, so you can edit that file with root permissions.
You will get something like this:
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.
xres=640
yres=480
OR
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.
2. Adjust xres and yres to your targeted resolution, e.g. for 1280x1024:
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.
xres=1280
yres=1024
Save via <STRG><O>
3. You now must update your initramfs so the changes take effect:
sudo update-initramfs -u
4. Finish. Enjoy your well-sized usplash-boot-screen
