i set installed uvesafb according to this guide (http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/), but strangely it isn't working. there isn't even an attempt to change the resolution, it just stays at 80x25 textmode.

verified with uname --a that i'm using the correct kernel.

Code:

dmesg | grep uvesafb
Kernel command line: root=/dev/hda3 video=uvesafb:mtrr:1,ywrap,1400x1050-32 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1

\edit:
compiling with CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y solved it. thank you.

and
Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Console display driver -> <*>Framebuffer Console support
