Hi Gentoo friends,

I have tried some time to get bootsplash work with my matroxfb

First, bg info:
--  gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1-r1
--  using matroxfb at 1024x768 / 16bpp

Somewhere has doc telling me that, I should use vesafb, but my G400 card
seems doesn't work with vesafb. So I can only use matroxfb to get the fb
support.

But when using matroxfb, I've got a error in kernel message 
: looking for picture.... silentjpeg size 21768 bytes, found, but
framebuffer can't handle it!

Then, I dive into the bootsplash.c, I found that, it explicitly check
whether the framebuffer devices is vesa or not.

[code: if (... || info->fbops != &vesafb_ops)]

I just wonder what if I remove such checking.

I know that I am a little silly, so I want to find some advice here.

Do anyone has solved this problem before?

Thanks
Zarick
