Well.. vesafb is also enabled with 'y' and because uvesafb is it's
successor it seems logical to me that it also gets enabled with 'y'
(not as a module but build in). Perhaps a good idea for fedora to add
a anaconda installer option that allows you to set the boot resolution
or add the option in the firstboot.
