After some retesting: adding vga=791 in grub's menu.lst options makes the splash visible.
It still seems to be shifted towards the top of the screen. 791 = 1024x768x16bit is the actual best vesa mode that can be used in this model (I tested within grub using 'vbeprobe' command) Probably the default mode for the boot splash is higher (ie 32bit) that what the PC is capable of. -- [Edgy] Xubuntu Boot splash is barely visible and shifted up by third of screen https://launchpad.net/bugs/70562 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
