I now can confirm that editing /etc/usplash.conf to provide good x & y resolutions does as stated above:
In "/etc/usplash.conf" the values for xres and yres were initially: xres=1280 yres=1024
When I changed them to: xres=1024 yres=768 The shutdown usplash screen appeared, but the startup usplash screen did not.
(Still get message from LCD monitor saying "Signal Over Range" at bootup usplash time.)
