Hi, GRUB does what you want now (i.e. leaves the resolution and background image untouched). When it comes to resolution, this makes for seamless transition (unless you explicitly asked Linux to change it). HOWEVER, background image doesn't stay. Something (I think Linux, but it could be some userland part) clears the screen and prints stuff before you get to see usplash. Would be nice if this is fixed, but whatever it is can't be fixed in GRUB (so this bug will be closed on next upload). -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
