What about the silent screen does it also look unclear or just the
verbose screen.

I don't have any artifacts here and the picture is clear, even with the
connected TV where i only get 1024x768.

I think I can't help you any further here. Maybe you could contact the
maintainer of uvesafb, splashutils (spock@gentoo.org). Probably he could
help you, although he seems busy with other things at the moment.

Daniel
