(Get the code!)
I tested the i386 livecd on a laptop with intel graphics, and the 'ubuntu' splash screen came up [using a Lucid kubuntu cd] and kde started, without any apparent hiccups with the video.
I then did an install, and the splash screen again showed up, followed by kde.
One interesting thing I found was that with using just the laptop screen, the boot time was about 12 seconds or so. When I added an external monitor to the vga port of the laptop, the boot time went up to about 45 seconds. It stalled dramatically at some point, which leads me to think it was confused by the monitor settings, graphics hardware, or something like that.
This may have also happened with the encrypted install with no splash screen. With one monitor connected to the nvidia card, I could enter the passphrase at about 15 seconds and the boot would continue. With two monitors connected, I couldn't get the system to boot - but I didn't wait an extra 30 to 40 seconds either. I would type the passphrase at about 15 seconds, but nothing would happen - probably because something was stalled. Waiting longer might work - but without any prompts, it is very difficult to know what is happening and when exactly the passphrase is needed.
