Bingo.

you can try this:
     Enter this commands in a console:

sudo sed -i -e 's/1600/1024/' -e 's/900/768/' /etc/usplash.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`

> 2006" quiet splash

Then you could aditionally try this:

    sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

and add "gfxpayload=1024x768x24,1024x768x16,1024x768"
like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash gfxpayload=1024x768x24,1024x768x16,1024x768"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=\\\"!Windows 2006\\\""

and run

sudo update-grub

and reboot.
I hope that helps!


this part should normaly not be quoted as well:

and I normaly would not quote this farewell formula either because it
becomes appended over and over again filling hunderds of mailboxes and
archives:
