I noticed that someone mentioned the need for using 915resolution on Intel GPUs. However, I managed to get the solution working without 915resolution, using the Intel GMA965 GPU on a Lenovo Y410. What I did was this:
1. Install v86d
2. Add /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb containing this line:
options uvesafb mode_option=1280x800-32 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
3. sudo depmod -a
4. sudo update-initramfs -u
5. Restart.

Something I noticed was that when either starting or resuming from hibernation from a cold boot, I get artefacts when usplash starts, then booting stalls, presumably because I didn't see the cryptsetup prompt and didn't key in the encryption key. However, if I try starting again (Alt+SysRq+B), then usplash works.
