You have to select Connector - unified userspace <-> kernelspace linker in
the Device Drivers page. Then you will have uvesafb available for
selection.

It seems that you also need v86d installed, and start with an initramfs with
that in it, though I haven't yet finished working this out for myself.

Yes! that was my problem. When i did this i follow gentoo wiki's tutorial, but this part is not there, yesterday i check the official web and i see this part, now is working great! Many thanks!.
I have a n old notebook with a intel video chipset (810) should i use the intelfb instead of uvesafb?

BTW: Is there any chance to avoid to see my background images when the kernel end load and just before kdm start? I get the image i choose two times...and it would be great if i just keep a dark screen or somethinf similar.

Many thanks,
Cheers!
