The uvesa-fb approach to console resolution switching is obsolete and depreciated.
Now something called KMS (Kernel ModeSetting) is used.
Requirements:
1. >=kernel-2.6.31
2. >=xorg-server-1.6
3. >=xf86-video-intel-2.8.0.
Steps:
1. Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> Support for frame buffer devices; disalbe framebuffer support like intelfb, vesafb or uvesafb
2. Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> ... <*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) ---> <*> Intel 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G (i915 driver) ---> <*> i915 driver [*] Enable modesetting on intel by default.
