Is there some difference in uvesafb and vesafb?  I've always just ignored
the uvesafb choice and used plain vesafb.

I just assumed from the name of it and the menuconfig help on it that
it was something only usable in `userspace'.  I took that to mean
after bootup.. something you'd do from the command line.

Anyone here that can explain what the difference is.
