Hi there
I'm having a lot of pain trying to set my uvesafb to 1440x900... it always starts as 1600x1200 no matter what I do, but my monitor complains (this is not optimum resolution and bla bla bla)
My grub.conf line:
| Code: | | kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 video=uvesafb:1440x900-24@60,mtrr:3,ywrap, splash=verbose,theme:natural_gentoo fbcon=scrollback:512k console=tty1 |

If your monitor support 1440x900, try removing the splash, i.e.
| Code: |
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 video=uvesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap,1440x900-24@60

It did not worked. The screen still with 1600x1200 resolution, but this time, with no backdrop image.
Then I tried to drop the resolution to 1280x1024 (that I know that works, 'cause it worked before with livecd bootsplash) and it worked, but without backdrop image.
Take a look:
| Code: | kuroiryu ~ # splash_geninitramfs -v -g /boot/natural_gentoo-1280x1024 -r 1280x1024 natural_gentoo
o Creating directory structure..
o Copying //sbin/fbcondecor_helper..
o Copying themes..
- natural_gentoo
o Creating initramfs image..
kuroiryu ~ # cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/themes/gentoo.xpm.gz
title=main
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 video=uvesafb:1280x1024-24@60,mtrr:3,ywrap,splash=quiet,theme:natural_gentoo fbcon=scrollback:512k console=tty1 initrd (hd0,0)/natural-gentoo-1280x1024
kuroiryu ~ # splash_manager --theme=natural_gentoo-1280x1024 --cmd=set --tty=1
Error: Theme 'natural_gentoo-1280x1024' doesn't seem to provide a config file for the current resolution (1280x1024).

if you know natural_gentoo theme then you know that it have a 1280x1024 resolution configuration, and splash_geninitramfs does not display any error when I generate the 1280x1024 initram.
Any clue?
