splashutils is a _userspace_ splash. fbsplash isn't, but then it only |
| 6 |
provides the "verbose" mode (background pictures on system consoles) and |
| 7 |
there is no way of doing that in userspace (other than implementing the |
| 8 |
whole console system in userspace, which has indeed been proposed and |
| 9 |
might get done one day). |

Which fb driver doesn't it work with? |

It depends on the definition of "actively" :) But to say that fbdev is |
| 18 |
unmaintained would be, IMO, an exaggeration. |
