The graphical splash screen is disabled on NVIDIA's proprietry drivers,
since they won't work properly with framebuffers and will cause
instability. I believe this will all be fixed as part of their wayland
support which will include a KMS layer, but that is a ways off and
certainly won't be in for 15.10.
