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.
