Someone attempted to make a fix for Ubuntu 10.04 and newer: http://kyleabaker.com/2010/07/11/how-to-fix-your-ubuntu-boot-screen/
For me (Ubuntu & Xubuntu 11.04, nVidia proprietary driver, BURG on Dell XPS M1730 with nVidia 8700GT SLI) it only reactivates the graphical logo during shutdown, and I still get the text logo instead during startup.
