I have a problem with the Usplash. The following one happens, after some time to function well:

if I define in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
quiet splash

When ubuntu initiates, the bar of progress walks one litle and later it appears the black screen with the processes that if go loading.
When I make logout, nor he appears splash, it only appears the black screen.

If I define in /boot/grub/menu.lst
quiet splash vga=791

Ubuntu initiates appears the bar of progress that comes back to walk one litle, and the image is thus, stop until being loaded gnome. When I make logout, nor he appears splash, he remains to wallpaper, without more nothing, until the computer disconnect.

Don't know the answer to your question but you might want to try the alternate program bootsplash:
