I fixed it using the method described below from a similar bug report for usplash. I don't have the computer mentioned below, but the same solution worked on my computer (a desktop PC). My LCD monitor has 1024x768 native resolution. It now displays the startup and shutdown usplash screens correctly. This bug doesn't affect computers with monitors that can handle the higher resolution 1280x1024, so it probably has evaded being fixed by developers. The default startup resolution settings for usplash.conf should be set in installation for the lowest resolution that users will probably have, such as 800x600 or even 640x480 if usplash will display at that low res.
