Hi. I have a Dell Latitude D820 laptop and for the life of me, I
can't get uvesafb to work. There are no messages, I just get the 25
lines by 80 column screen. I emerged clib, and v86d and made sure my
.config had /usr/share/v86d/initramfs as the initramfs source, and I
have uvesafb built in to the kernel. My boot time command line
arguments to lilo are:
init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda5 udev
video=uvesafb:1024x768 speakup.synth=spkout
(all on one line in the original).
Attached is my emerge --info and my kernel config -- assistance would
be appreciated.

According to you kernel config, uvesafb is not built in to the kernel,
but as a module. Try building it in to the kernel and not as a module.
