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.
