Ahh, but my experiance tells me for GRUB or GRUB2 to display a splashscreen it makes INT10 calls....
That's what the VBE _module_ does. Everything above that (e.g. in this case the PNG loader etc) is backend-independant.
What's the hardware anyway? Replies seem to indicate a Geode board, but Ron's initial mail didn't mention this.

how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
