Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: usplash
When booting into Ubuntu, after the bios has initialised, I occasionally
get display corruption. This seems to happen whenever uplash drops into
text-mode (for example, it happened when I entered the wrong settings in
fstab and mounting at boot up threw an error). The corruption takes the
form of a red background, with white lines scrolling up the screen. It
seems that these lines represent text (they often only fill part of a
line), and that for some reason display initialisation has corrupted.
After a few seconds of this, the computer boots into gdm correctly.
I have a Radeon X1800 graphics card, running fglrx restricted drivers
(although I doubt they are used by usplash). This is plugged into a 19"
Xerox LCD monitor. If any other information is required, please ask.
