Is the uvesafb slow for you? I tried to use it to enable high resolution TTY for my nVIDIA card, but it was so slow that it was unusable. And even the TTY was offset so that part of the text was hidden. With nouveau fast switch TTY's with high resolution work out of the box nicely.
actually I remember having some problems with an offset TTY so that I coudln't see the lower part of the screen. But since I configured the system almost a year ago, I don't really remember what I did to fix it (I believe that using uvesafb fixed everything)... looking at my configuration, it looks like I did everything exactly as described in the wiki. Nowadays I don't have any problems with the TTY being slow or having hidden text
