Final question after all there words: How can I get such a high
resolution with this hardware and the nvidia-drivers???

Works for me on ~amd64 gentoo with nvidia-drivers :)
Ok, forget the previous mail... ;)
I give up not to use initramfs and did it as described
in above webpage.
Unfortunately I get an even more blocky design (4bit pocket
calculator design, so to say... ;-/ )
Will try more...we will see.
If you have some more hints for....I would be happier ;)))
uvesafb will not give you extra resolutions. It will however allow you
to use non-default refresh-rates which is sometimes useful with CRT
monitors.
But it has a drawback too: it needs a userspace tool and resolution is
switched too late during the boot process, meaning until it loads you'll
be seeing the kernel boot in 80x25 mode (which in turn means no boot
graphics/logo right from the start.)
