Splash screen size
How do I change the splash screen size on x64. I always used to adjust it with startup manager. But That program wont open with X64. I need to make it a little bigger.

Re: Splash screen size
Which splash -- usplash - the one when the computer is booting?
Take a look at this

Only I think you should use lower resolution not higher - remember what happens to you desktop with a low resolution

Re: Splash screen size
This will fix the problem.
Depending on the resolution and size of your monitor the usplash image with Elyssa may not fill the whole screen during boot. Usplash is the screen that shows the progress during the boot process. This has been tested and works for my lcd with a native resolution of 1280x1024.
Open Terminal and enter the following
gksu gedit /etc/usplash.conf
Change the xres setting to xres=800 and the yres setting to yres=600 and then save the file and close.
From the terminal enter the following
sudo update-initramfs -u
Restart the computer.
It may take a few attempts with different resolutions if it does not work right away.

Re: Splash screen size
Thank you. This works great.
(Screenres 1680*1050 set Bootsplashres to 800*600)

Re: Splash screen size
I get this:
mint@mint ~ $ sudo update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
cp: cannot stat `/vmlinuz': No such file or directory
What does it mean?
