splashutils is a _userspace_ splash.  fbsplash isn't, but then it only
provides the "verbose" mode (background pictures on system consoles) and
there is no way of doing that in userspace (other than implementing the
whole console system in userspace, which has indeed been proposed and
might get done one day).

Which fb driver doesn't it work with?

It depends on the definition of "actively" :)  But to say that fbdev is
unmaintained would be, IMO, an exaggeration.

Best regards.
