So Geode can do a splash screen really easily
Note that the video mode set by libpayload's Geode driver does not play well with most monitors.
I have only been able to get an image on two old, analog-only TFT:s. Newer/cheaper TFT:s and projectors can't sync.
This is on an alix1c board.
It would be great if the mode was tweaked a little to either the standard 640x350 mode 3, or some standard framebuffer mode 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768.
Patches welcome. The intent is to emulate a 80x25 character screen, so whatever mode you want to use, you'll need to find an appropriate font to go along with it ( I think the current font will work at 8x14, but I'm not positive).
