Hrm, Roman pointed something out that somehow slipped my mind. The framebuffer logo is X by Y pixels. It should not be stretched or distorted at all, only scaled.
First of all, I want to point out that I want an Arch logo in my boot framebuffer, whether it's stretched or not.
I agree. But what Thayer is saying is simply that if it looks really ugly, it makes arch look less polished, graphically. I dunno, I'm on the fence here. I like seeing the little logo on boot, but if it starts to look really ugly, I probably wouldn't like it anymore.
Now to the problem: My native resolution is 1280x800, but I have found no way to get this resolution in framebuffer. Therefore, I use 1024x768, which results in _non-square pixels_, thus the logo (and everything else) is somehow stretched and looks sort of ugly.
Oh, I understand now. I wasn't thinking right - I actually don't have a widescreen setup at home with arch. All my monitors are square 8) Maybe I'll boot an install CD on my 17" laptop to see.
