Getting the LL Splash screen back after Nvidia driver install

[eightbit]

The steps I have taken to do this worked, but the resolution of the loading splash screen are low. This is what I did:

Code:

sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub

Look for the line :
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480

Just underneath write the line :
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=auto

Then :

sudo update-grub

This brings the splash screen back, but it is of course 640x480 (or so it appears). I have tried uncommenting the GRUB_GFXMODE and changing it to 1920x1080 (I am using an HD TV running at this resolution) but it does not change anything. The splash screen was perfect prior to installing the Nvidia driver, and then it was the generic "Ubuntu 14.04" screen. I tried the Lite Tweak for bootup fix and that changed it to a generic Linux Lite 2.8 screen with the loading dots. After the chnage I made above I made headway and actually have the splash screen with the feather but at low resolution.

Any ideas? I know it is not a big deal but it bugs me Any help is appreciated!
