Those are just two different ways for setting up a splash screen; I |
| 16 |
think gentoo is currently more directed to bootsplash rather than |
| 17 |
fbsplash. But neither of them is mandatory for framebuffer usage (and |
| 18 |
framebuffer console). In order to use the framebuffer, you just need to |
| 19 |
load the relevant module and use fbset or compile the driver into the |
| 20 |
kernel and pass the right "video=..." paramenter to the kernel and |
| 21 |
you're set. |
