Removing libdirectfb-0.9.25 definately helped. Splashy now generally works, 
although not perfectly:

1) After about 5% progress while booting, the boot process stalls (with 
Splashy visible) until F2 is pressed, at which point booting continues 
(Splashy still being displayed).

2) After logging into X, there are some small black spots near the top of the 
screen. This is X.org 1:7.3+8 with NVidia drivers 100.14.19-1 compiled from 
source.

Regards,

    Georg
