Thanks for the results from the script. Agreed, usplash needs to be fixed to properly resolve this bug. It was helpful for me to know if the script left things in a working state or not, which is why I asked if it temporarily fixed the problem. Looking at the results, I see that nine of the sixt

Don't worry, I'm not running out of patience. Any way, running your script does NOT fix the problem, not even temporarily. See vbestates.tar for the results. I don't know who is responsible for maintaining the usplash utility, but it would seem to me that fixing it, is only the proper way to deal

Thanks for the detailed response, and taking the time to make the tests. It does make things more clear. Thanks also for the added info that the reset command will fix the problem after loading the Uni1 font. I do wish I had a Mobility Radeon X300 here to test with; it would make things a lot eas

Okay, after a systematic test I concluded the following: I tested the following situations: 1 The boot option "splash" is disabled. 2 The GDM daemon is disabled (using the rcconf utility.) 3 Executing "setfont Uni1-VGA16" in a virtual terminal. 4 Executing "setfont Lat15-VGA16" in a virtual termin

Peter, yes this is a weird one. When you say that text "suddenly has the right colors after executing the first command," I am assuming that you are refering to text already on the screen. The unusual characters after the first command are normal, since this changes from a 256-character font to a

Well, the result is even odder than trying those commands... Any text that is supposed to be brightly colered (but isn't at first) suddenly has the right colors after executing the first command but most of the text has become unreadable (lots of unusual characters (with accents/cyrilic.)

Peter, thanks for the quick reply and attachment. This may be related to another bug I've seen, but perhaps not. If it is, loading a 512-character font, then immediately loading a 256-character font may help. This may sound odd, but humor me. If this doesn't help I have no other ideas at the mo
