I marked my bugreport https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/160634 as duplicate of this bug report. Setting resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to my native 1024x768 and running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash' solved my problem.
Having usplash set to wrong resolution severely affects boot time (on my system it took always more than 3 minutes to get to login screen - after reconfiguration it is 1 minute). I used to press CTRL-F1, which causes immediate resume of boot sequence. I did not find any signs what is done during extra 2 minutes. I just see some time gaps in log files. The biggest in /var/log/messages goes like this: Feb 3 11:00:13 harvlin kernel: [ 30.679565] Attempting manual resume Feb 3 11:00:13 harvlin kernel: [ 31.391822] kjournald starting.
