Libpayload could do what you need. For Geode, this isn't a problem, a few extra lines of code and you are there. I've been meaning all along to implement this, but I have been holding off since we didn't have a VESA driver, and I am pretty serious about keeping balance in libpayload (we all love Geode, but I want to make sure everybody can play). So Geode can do a splash screen really easily - VESA would require a driver, but in the end that wouldn't be such a bad thing since I've been saying we've needed a VESA driver for some time now. Let me know if this interests you, and I'll give more details.
