Just a shot in the dark are you using any kind of tv-out? |
29 |
|
30 |
I had this problem with tv-out. I specified a resolution of 1280x1024. |
31 |
When I connect my tv to my box the maximal resolution possible is |
32 |
1024x768 because the tv-encoder does not offer higher resolutions. So |
33 |
instead of switching to the next greatest resolution of 1024x768 the |
34 |
uvesafb driver switches to smallest resolution of 640x480. This |
35 |
resolution is not available in the emergence theme thus the splash fails! |
36 |
|
37 |
If you have a problem like this there are existing patches whto the |
38 |
kernel which are fixing this issue! |
39 |

What does "cat /sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes" say? |
