uvesafb just got included in the 2.6.24 which isn't even final yet so
it's not 'late'.. more early than late.

To execute.. Quote from [1]:
"add video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap (or similar) to your
kernel command line"

About the question:
"But who wwould maintain the v86d userspace code package if we enabled the
driver?"

I'm willing to give it a shot with the help of someone that has
experience in making spec files. (i have the links to the (old)
handbooks.. just not the experience)
