Following fix worked perfectly for me: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ I think it's the same as the one from softpedia. Now my boot splash is in 1024x768, as this was the highest resolution shown by hwinfo --framebuffer. My native resolution would be 1280x800, but still it's much better than before. I attach my dmesg.txt hoping it will be helpful. I have an asus a6m notebook with a nvidia geforce go 6100 graphic card and ubuntu lucid amd64. The other stuff like gfx_payload=keep or so didn't work for me at all.
