Hello,

When using Splashy with shared libraries, You need to make sure that you
copy, into your initramfs image, all the libraries as reported by "ldd
/sbin/splashy".

Note also that libdirectfb depends on libraries that come from
/usr/lib/directfb-$SOVERSION/*

I'm not sure if you need this whole directory, but you might need the
gfxdrivers for your video card, the inputdrivers, the common interfaces and
the image format for your images (PNG is the format that we recommend, but
you can use anything that's supported by libdirectfb).
