I just bought a Geforce 8600 GT card and big surprise - I ran into this
bug ;-) (on Gutsy)

On my system I had only a blank screen during the boot process, after
GDM startet, everythings seemed to work as usual. The following
procedure gave me back the nice splash screen again (a combination of
hints in this report):

- adding vga16fb, fbcon and vesafb to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
- outcommenting the blacklistet vesafb and vga16fb in 
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
- adding vga=795 (1280x1024) to the kernel options in /boot/grub/menu.lst 
(while setting usplash resolution to the same value in /etc/usplash.conf
- sudo update-initramfs -u

Kind regards,
Jan
