I'm not quite sure what you mean here. splashy shouldn't attempt to
configure the framebuffer, it should just try to use whichever
framebuffer is present. At the moment, it can't do that because directfb
doesn't support vga16fb. So we need to either fix directfb (so it'll
work with vga16fb) or change splashy (so it doesn't use directfb).
