I applied http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/archive/uvesafb-0.1-rc2-2.6.22-rc6.patchto 2.6.22-rc6-mm1... everything seems to be working properly. However, in dmesg I did notice the following message: uvesafb: message too long (9872), can't execute task uvesafb: VBE get state call failed (eax=0x4f04, err=-7) The messages seem to get generated when I switch VTs. Just thought I would let you know. If there is anything else I can do to help let me know.
It looks like the VBE hardware state buffer for your video card is larger than the 4k currently supported by connector. The problem should be easily fixed by setting CONNECTOR_MAX_MSG_SIZE in include/linux/connector.h to e.g. 16k. I've already updated the patch on my website, so next time you download it, the error messages should be gone.
