I have seen this bug with an old (~6 year) 1024x768 TFT driven by an nVidia GForce MX2 card following an install from the final Gutsy release CD. The monitor compains about the resolution before turning itself off until X comes up, which is configured fine and works perfectly.

First thing I tried was adding vga=791 to my boot params but this just triggered bug #129910 <https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ initramfs- tools/+ bug/129910>. Fixed this as in my post to that bug.
Editing /etc/usplash.conf to contain the correct res and then updating my initramfs with 'update-initramfs -u' fixed the splash screen issue.
