Description
I remember during the days of 7.10 the screen resolution used on my Ubuntu Boot Splash screen was at least 800x600, if not 1024x768, resulting in a sharper, classier looking boot splash screen. I don't think everybody has this problem, but I have an idea so that nobody will have it in the long run. The simple way to do it would be for some sort of check to take place after a modification is made to the xorg.conf file, in way of monitor configuration settings being added or modified. The goal of this check would be to simply find the native resolution of the monitor being used and automatically change the default resolution using during the splash at boot. Perhaps 8.10 actually has plans to do this already with compiz being loaded earlier in the process of starting the PC. If so, that'd be freggin awesome! But if not just yet, I hope to see the refining of the appearance of the OS to the user during boot by auto-adjusting resolutions based on existent xorg.conf settings.

You have this possibility if you install startup manager...
What I miss is widescreen support with the usplash.
