Ubuntu 10.04 Resume from Hibernate

Resuming from hibernation in Ubuntu 10.04 shows a blank screen, then a corrupted video image for a second or two before showing the log in screen.
Changing the video resolution with Startup-Manager from 640×480 and 8 bits to 1024×768 and 24 bits replaced the blank screen with the Ubuntu Plymouth graphic and the message “resuming from “. There’s still the brief corrupted video before the log in screen, but at least there’s not a blank screen for half a minute. BTW, that corrupted video image has been there since Ubuntu 8. The video is an Intel 945GM Chipset.

Ubuntu 10.04 Boot Splash

When booting or resuming a hibernated session in Ubuntu 10.04, my screen is blank with the exception of a couple lines of text:
Boot from (hd0,2)[…]
Starting up...

I was looking to get a graphical screen back that I had in Ubuntu 9.10.

I found some tips at Ubuntu Geek.

For me the relevant stuff was this:
sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y >>/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
