@caravel

Just tried your solution on the nVidia system. It works. Not without the vesafb. In that case the monitor and video card are not recognised, and I get the Gnome window at 800x600 in the center of my 1280x1024 monitor. tty1-6 looked ok, but could not switch back to tty7 (just a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of a black screen). And the shutdown splash was awful (resolution and colours).
With vesafb included, all seems fine. tty1-6 are about 140x64 characters. Just like they were in Feisty. Until there is an official solution I keep it the way it is now.
One down (nVidia), one to go (Intel).
