[Bug 563878] Re: Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia proprietary graphics driver

[John Cottier]

Exactly the same bug is still on 11.10, fresh install. But the v86d fix
does not work (blank screen) on this version so Ubuntu seems to have
regressed here. Also the consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1 etc) do not work which
may be related, or maybe they are related to Bug #728745 I dont know. I
pin my hopes on 12.04 now I guess.

Title:
  Ubuntu splashscreen big and ugly after installing ATI/nVidia
  proprietary graphics driver

Status in tools for generating an initramfs:
  New
Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi

  Before installing the Ati driver the logo in the splashscreen was
  sleek; after I enabled the proprietary driver, the logo became huge
  and ugly. It's only a small thing, but it's a bug nevertheless.
