Comment 69 for bug 526892

Should another bug/enhancement request be made about the issue of a low color, low resolution boot experience when using Nvidia proprietary drivers?

Out of curiosity, what technology was used in Ubuntu 9.10 that allowed the high resolution, high color boot splash when using Nvidia drivers? And is there any reason why we can't apply that same method to Ubuntu 10.4?

Also, I wanted to note that the fix mentioned here:

worked for me without any noticeable ill effects.
