In my experience, uvesafb is slower & doesn't actually support any |
| 23 |
more resolutions than vesafb, so I don't use it myself; other than |
| 24 |
one really nifty uvesafb has. It probes the video card & attached |
| 25 |
display to determine supported modes, and provides that list in |
| 26 |
/sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes. So I'll use uvesafb to |
| 27 |
get that list, and choose a resolution I want from it, and then use |
| 28 |
vesafb w/ that video mode. |

YMMV, |
