It does indeed seem to work. Incidentally, the way documented in
Documentation/fb/uvesafb.txt:
video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32
does not quite work right, it only gave me a 640x480 screen, but
video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-32
worked fine. Anyway, I had stopped using uvesafb on my PC anyway,
because
- my crappy graphics card BIOS ignores refresh rate settings, always
using 60 Hz like with vesafb;
- v86d does not work on i386 systems with a 64-bit kernel because
of #492470.
