splashy starting up error

Hi eveyone and Happy Holidays,
My problem is starting splashy in fedora 8 what i have done is:-
installed splashy with no errors
edited grub removed rhgb and added quiet vga=791 splash
set default theme with command splashy_config -s default no errors
added /sbin/splashy boot in etc/rc.d/rcsysinit
and if i run splashy test it works fine
and when i boot i get the error libsplashy framebuffer is not configured properly
I have googled and not found a solution and this i way over my head so if anyone can help i would be eternally gratefull.

Ps one other thing is i am trying to build the rpms for this, and i keep getting stuck with the error, Bad owner/group, i have checked the spec file has the right group (Amusements/Graphics) this is way above me as well.

In a continuous effort to get splashy working, and keep this thread alive, does anyone know anything about framebuffer, settings etc, i would be forever in their debt if someone could help me solve this.
