Thanks for your reply Steve. I installed some other splash screens (one by one) through synaptic, and neither of them worked. I can confirm that if I change the splash screen from ubuntu-default, I get an error message for a brief period on the screen, which is related to some vesa fb device not being found. I am guessing that Plymouth is still incompatible with NVIDIA's proprietary video device drivers?

Other than the splash screens which show up in synaptic, I also tried getting some of those mentioned here: http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/05/5-stunning-plymouth-screen-themes-for.html.
