Bug Description

When the kernel is started with vga=795 (1280x1024), usplash doesn't start.
the splash appearing in the middle of the screen (as it would on a laptop
anyway) would be fine :). It doesn't start at all though currently.

If this is something specific to my machine, please tell me which logs you need
to see, as i don't know myself :).

Keeping this open because it has been reported before already...however, this is
known and expected for this generation of usplash.

This should be working now, actually, with changes to usplash's initramfs hooks,
allowing it to work with either vga16fb or vesafb (works with vga=XXX on my
laptop now)
