The starred configuration is the active one.  So 1680x1050 should be the
target GRUB_GFXMODE (hopefully this is supported by the card in VBE).

Title:
  [nouveaufb] Plymouth refuses to show on boot, only at shutdown
  (mountall error messages)

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my system, Plymouth shows properly on shutdown, but at boot I get a
  blank screen and an error from my monitor saying "No Signal", followed
  usually by some terminal text mentioning something like "mountall:
  Plymouth command failed".

  Then the Unity greeter comes up and everything after that runs just
  fine. It'd still be nice to see the boot splash, though.

  I've been getting this problem since I installed the 9/9/2011 daily
  build of Oneiric, but didn't get around to reporting it until today
  for some reason. Not sure if it's related to the fact that I cannot
  get grub to display either, despite this being a dual-boot between
  Oneiric and Natty, but I'll file that separately.
