Clean install of Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 using NVIDIA 180x drivers in a HP Pavilion dv2872 laptop.

After I click on shutdown in gnome, the screens flickers momentarily the content of the terminal in CRTL ALT F8, and after appears the ubuntu usplash shutdown image.

Is there a way to solve this issue or to extend the time the usplash image is shown?

Thanks...
