Title:
  1002:718a [SONY VGN-CR35G_L] garbled text when booting without splash
  screen

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Upon booting without splash screen (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""),  I
  initially get blocks of white on my screen (all the time) instead of
  text (please see attached picture). Towards the later part of the boot
  process, I am able to get the normal small text. However, this text is
  also at times of the wrong dimension (vertical height is shorter than
  normal).

  Another possibly related issue is that when I boot with splash screen,
  the boot splash screen is sometimes not of the correct dimension on
  the screen. At times, the "ubuntu" logo with the 5 dots below is way
  too small and look exactly like the font used for the text mode boot
  up. This also happens on and off, and when I'm lucky I can get the
  normal sized ubuntu boot splash screen.

  I'm not sure if it's a graphics driver issue, but here are some of the
  details of my system's display:

  OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV515
