In all my years of Gentoo I've never set up fbsplash and fbcondecor,
so I finally did so on my old laptop. It all worked, pretty easy to
set up -- however, there are 2 things I have questions about:
1) I see much of OpenRC's colorful output before the fbsplash kicks
in. Is there any trick to prevent that stuff from showing and/or
making the splash screen show up earlier?
Yes. Compile the KMS driver in-kernel rather than as a module.
2) With the fbsplash enabled, xdm (slim) starts in the background. I
have to alt-7 to see the graphical login screen. xdm starts at default
runlevel. With splash disabled, xdm (slim) starts in the foreground.
Why is that?
Sounds like a bug. I use KDM and it switches to console 7 automatically.
