I totally agree. +1.

Ankur Kotwal <email address hidden> said recently in ubuntu-devel:

"Upon installation of the nvidia driver, the user could be asked
whether they would like to disable usplash. This could trigger an edit
of /boot/grub/menu.lst and a subsequent update-grub.

Perhaps we could provide a command line utility that allows the user
to easily turn on and off usplash (i.e.
usplash-enable/usplash-disable)?

Putting a conflict on the package would mean that there is no way
people who want usplash, the nvidia driver and don't care for a TTY
terminal could have all of the above. I propose we just make this
configurable to apease as many people as possible."

I totally agree, too. +1, too.
