usplash fail message

Hi there:

When I turn on my laptop, a message always appears. It reads:

usplash: Setting mode 1152x864 failed
usplash: Using mode 1024x768

then the system continues to the desktop, where I can use ubuntu without problems

some questions:

My guess is it has something to do with screen resolution, but Im not sure
How bad is it?
Can it be related to a recent upgrade from EXT3 to EXT4?
Is it related to the graphics card model? drivers?
How can I fix it?

cheers

Have a look at /etc/usplash.conf which should look something like

Code:

---

# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

xres=1280
yres=1024

---

only in your case may have the 1152 and 864, which does not work, instead of 1280 and 1024. If so, edit the file and save it, then run

Code:

---

sudo update-initramfs

---

that was close: my data:

Code:

---

# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

xres=1440
yres=900

---

So try the edit to

Code:

---

xres=1280
yres=1024

---

and reboot to test it.
