Why wouldn't it be a module like (most) other framebuffers?
Bill
Well.. vesafb is also enabled with 'y' and because uvesafb is it's
successor it seems logical to me that it also gets enabled with 'y'
(not as a module but build in). Perhaps a good idea for fedora to add
a anaconda installer option that allows you to set the boot resolution
or add the option in the firstboot.
