Title:
  Lucid Kubuntu: garbled splash screen and random failures to start X

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  After upgrading Karmic to Lucid, the splash screen is part-garbled and
  comes up in very low res and few colours.  It looks like it's picking
  a bad modeline for the monitor, which loses the bottom part of the
  display.

  Occasionally it will also jump into the failsafe X dialog on yet
  another corrupted screen which seems wrapped over the right edge of
  the monitor.  If I simply choose restart X, it works, but then since I
  have gdm installed it seems to prefer that over my normal kdm.  The
  desktop then comes up in some very low resolution that I can't
  correct.

  If I remove the splash boot option it'll all work fine.
