Hi all,
I'm using plymouth 0.8.3 on Debian testing/sid linux distribution with
kernel 2.6.38.3 . I have an intel integrated graphics controller
managed by the i915 module and I followed Debian wiki in order to
setup and run plymouth http://wiki.debian.org/plymouth
It was all working but then, because I would modify default theme, i
followed this great tutorial
http://brej.org/blog/?p=158
so I have my custome theme "mytheme" installed and running (i've just
changed the image and put that code to auto-adapt to the screen size)
but the problem is that the plymouth screen size is always 1024x768
even if the screen it's greater. I have this issue on VGA but not for
example on DVI computer with the same system.
I've seen that in debian default kernel 2.6.32 the auto-resize code
works so i wonder why in greater kernels (even if default one from
debian repo) i have plymouth and mytheme always at 1024x768.
I had this 1024x768 >2.6.32 kernel issue also with Xorg and I had to
ignore LVDS1, but what I have to do for plymouth?

Sincerely,
