It doesn't really need vesafb for anything. Back in the days of 2.6.7=20 I used to release a version of bootsplash that had the dep. on vesafb=20 removed. It worked fine with at least some other fb drivers. You might also want to save yourself some work and try out an alternative solution called fbsplash [1], which I designed after I got=20 tired of fixing bootsplash and which I actively maintain. Fbsplash=20 provides virtually the same functionality, and it has as much code as=20 possible moved into userspace (no more JPEG decoders in the kernel).
