usplash fail message

[hihihi100]

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

# 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

sudo update-initramfs

that was close: my data:

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

xres=1440
yres=900

So try the edit to

xres=1280
yres=1024

and reboot to test it.
