Tracing this issue a little further, look at the usplash postinst. This is the code that is called to choose that value:
# Write a config file setup_usplash_config() { if [ ! -f /etc/usplash.conf ]; then db_version 2.0 if db_get xserver-xorg/config/display/modes; then FIRSTVAL=`echo $RET | sed 's/,.*//'` x=`echo $FIRSTVAL | sed 's/x.*//'` y=`echo $FIRSTVAL | sed 's/.*x//'` else x=640 y=480 fi echo "# Usplash configuration file" >/etc/usplash.conf echo "xres=$x" >>/etc/usplash.conf echo "yres=$y" >>/etc/usplash.conf fi }
On my two hardy systems, I dont see anything in that debconf variable. A new method needs to be developed for determining the values to use for X & Y:
supermario@portablemario:~/usplash-0.5.16$ echo "get xserver-xorg/config/display/modes" | sudo debconf-communicate 10 xserver-xorg/config/display/modes doesn't exist
