Agree. However, right now splashy doesn't check to see if directfb
will be able to take control of the /dev/fb or not. That's a good
thing to add to the TODO file.

But, why have splashy running if there is no video framebuffer? I
guess is better to check whether /dev/fb exists and if not exit
cleanly.

The reason i added the /proc/cmdline warning was to help newbies get
splashy working by printing a hint to the terminal.
