Typically in the boot help prompts (F2 - F6 or so) they will actually
mention a VGA mode number to try if you're having display issues with
your laptop. I've periodically needed to use it, but I've never needed
to remember any of the mode numbers.
I have just the opposite problem with my ThinkPad T60p (with the
optional FireGL). The CD installer's usplash looks perfect. However
anytime I try to use usplash once the system is running, the image never
comes out right. Presumably, if I knew the setting used in the installer
I could get it to work, but I've not bothered to research it. (This
isn't a new problem with this laptop.) Once X kicks in it is good, so I
tend to just disable usplash on it.
Cheers,
Steven Black
