I get the same error on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop:

$ lspci |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600M GT] 
(rev a1)

$ cat /etc/usplash.conf 
# Usplash configuration file
# These parameters will only apply after running update-initramfs.

xres=1440
yres=900

$ uname -a
Linux andy-laptop 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:04:26 UTC 2009 
i686 GNU/Linux

I also have the Nvidia proprietary driver version 190.42 installed.
