Why are you using atyfb instead of (u)vesafb? Anyhow, uvesafb's plusses over vesafb are: " 1. Proper blanking and hardware suspension after delay 2. Support for custom resolutions as in the system BIOS. " ( ArchLinux wiki) Its minus is the requirement of adding /sbin/v86d to the initrd/initramfs. Also, please avoid top-posting ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting ). Bottom-posting increases readability.
