    I used pretty splash screens at two points in the past on different
    hardware without any problems I could remember. Could you show us
    your configuration?

Unfortunately, I can't give the exact config, because I didn't bother to
save it when I reinstalled (since it wasn't working anyway).
I tried following the man page to the letter, so I'll try it again here
and document my exact steps.
However, your reply is already a large portion of the answer I was
looking for: that it does work if done correctly, and therefore it's
worth me trying again.

Thanks,
Bill
