Unhappy Debian Lenny & Splashy 0.3.10-2.1


Ok, now I tryed to test if my boot splash would work, but it didn't work, giving me this:
Code:
# splashy test
Splashy ERROR: libsplashy: Framebuffer is not configured properly please see http://tinyurl.com/339h67
Splashy ERROR: Couldn't splashy_start_splashy(). Error -2
From there, I made the settings and my /etc/grub/menu.lst looks like this
Code:
title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-486
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-486 root=/dev/hda1 ro splash vga=791 quiet
initrd          /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-486
Still giving the same error. What is wrong? Installed splashy from the repositorys.

kernel line

Try disabling the frame buffer drivers to prevent mapping your video card memory into the virtual memory space....
Replace vga=791 with:
video=vesaff vga=normal
