[Bug 1312810] [NEW] plymouth does not recognize resolution

[empax]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to change the splash screen resolution by using this[1] BASH
script which uses uvesafb kernel module, but it does not take any
effect. Nvidia propriety driver is being used for VGA device.

Steps to produce problem:
1- Install nvidia propriety driver
3- Install v86d package
3- Use the script and change resolution
4- Reboot
