I know there have been solutions for previous versions of Ubuntu, but what is the best way to go about it now?

As an aside, if I have it disabled the splash is fine, but before the login manager shows there is a weird torn up flicker of sorts.

Any help is appreciated.

Instructions for modifying:

/etc/default/grub /etc/initramfs-tools/modules /etc/grub.d/10_linux

As found on: http://paolobernardi.wordpress.com/2011/05/01/fix-plymouth-on-ubuntu-after-installing-nvidia-or-ati-proprietary-drivers-for-ubuntu-11-04-natty/

This did the trick for me. Paolo even includes a script to make it easy.

Unfortunately. Nvidia does not want to implement KMS in its drivers. For the open source drivers(nouveau): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1458230

Imagine the linked site goes down for maintenance or forever - your answer would become worthless. – htorque Oct 17 '11 at 08:13
