How to fix ugly plymouth logo on ubuntu 10.10 maverick meerkat for nvidia and ATI drivers

After installing ubuntu 10.10 and installing the graphic drivers I noticed that the ubuntu plymouth logo was looking real ugly. Well here's a good,simple guide to fix it.

First you need to install the v86d package for that open up your terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install v86d

After installing the package we need to edit our grub loader for including the rite graphic resolution. For that copy the command below on your terminal:

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Your grub config file will now open. Find the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and
replace it with:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
Now find the line #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 and change it to GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024
Save the file and close it.

Now open your initramfs module file by issuing command:

sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

At the end of the file add the line:
uvesafb mode_option=1280x1024-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
Save and close the file.

Now in your terminal type the command:

echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash

and finally the command: sudo update-grub2 && sudo update-initramfs -u
That's it now you can reboot your machine with the new good looking plymouth.

Note: You can play a little with the resolution, as 1280x1024 may not work for everyone! Just make sure that you change it in all three locations as indicated above.
