I don't see anything in usplash 0.3e that uses resolution data from
xorg.

Using data from another package without depending on it is aweful and
not something we should encourage. It's bad enough that xorg does it,
and that has caused more than enough problems, enabling another package
to do so seems to be asking for trouble.

The rest of the patch seems workable, although quite ugly in places.
