[Bug 1219918] [NEW] Plymouth is low resolution since updates in 12.04 64-bit

[Glenn Brumfield]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.04 with all updates (upgraded from 11.10 at 12.04.0)

I expected Plymouth to display 'splash screen' at normal resolution.

Prior to updates, Plymouth seemed to behave properly. Since updates last
week, Plymouth display appears to be VESA quality rather than using
NVIDIA driver. Messages appear on-screen both during boot before
Plymouth, and during shutdown after Plymouth exits. Last similar bug
report I could find was for 10.04 and was triaged as 'Will not fix'.
