Comment 73 for bug 551013

here's what I do:
1. sudo apt-get install hwinfo
2. sudo hwinfo --framebuffer
3. I get something like this:
  Mode 0x031b: 1280x1024 (+5120), 24 bits
4. Then I pick my desired resolution and:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
and add the desired mode into this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=0x031b"
then sudo update-grub2
5. also to show the splash longer than 1 or 2 seconds I add FRAMEBUFFER=y in this file:
sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
Save the file and exit, then:
sudo update-initramfs -u
I have no need to use the uvesafb or something like this.
But the problem is that 1280x1024 and lower resolutions show properly,but the logo is centered and I get a ~1cm vertical line on the right, and if I set like 1620x1200 then the logo is ugly and I get flickering and some text like it was in alpha2 or beta1 releases. I've ataching some photos with different resolutions. Hope it will help to solve this bug.
