Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

After installing the proprietary Nvidia driver for 11.04, the boot
screen changed from the beautiful looking Ubuntu default boot screen to
a blocky looking boot screen where the words actually pop up on the
screen. This boot screen uses a drastically smaller screen resolution
and looks very rudimentary compared to the open-source default.
