It works on my iBook - I think the references to vesafb are just
because the screenmode must be set to something that can display the
image (640x480x8) - using the atyfb on my iBook works just fine.
I tried making an 800x600-image instead, but didn't succeed (black
screen, one garbled line of funny chars and machine hangs).
The original Debian-theme, 640x480, from the website works fine.
Best regards,
