I can second that, I'm using up-to-date edgy on my notebook (no vmware). Screenshots 1 & 3 totally match, so while booting, usplash displays relativly hi-res, but with gray background insted of black. note that this is a regression, the former version of usplash (0.4.something, which I got when I upgraded to edgy) displayed that fine still. On shutdown, I also see the "lower resolution", with the left and right side of the testimage actually aligned to the monitor's sides but gray stripes below and above the test image. The interesting part is in between: I don't get such a black stipe before switching to GDM, but what I get: the whole screen seems to morph, pixels change color, it looks really funky ^^ The bad thing is that I get this "effekt" every time I change to a VT from X also, and the VT stays in that mode, so it's unusable. See screenshot. The screenshot shows the "start" of it (just after switching from x to vt1, same happens between usplash and gdm start), the colors actually still change, so first the red in the middle gets more intest and after a while everything turns black/dark...
