uvesafb will not give you extra resolutions. It will however allow you to
use non-default refresh-rates which is sometimes useful with CRT monitors.
But it has a drawback too: it needs a userspace tool and resolution is
switched too late during the boot process, meaning until it loads you'll be
seeing the kernel boot in 80x25 mode (which in turn means no boot
graphics/logo right from the start.)
I use uvesafb and I can see Tux (eight of him) during my boot process
before uvesafb kicks in.
I mean more something like this when I say "boot logo":

It's at least 10 years since I saw that default Tux boot thingy :-P But
anyway, if uvesafb hasn't kicked in yet, what on earth is drawing that Tux?
