I just checked my system and found that there is no V86d utility.
 It is wired because I remember the vesa option was chosen
 by default  :-(  . What should I do now? Should I rebuild my kernel or
 compiled vesa into module ?

Is vesafb/uvesafb* compiled in?

*needs v86d and initrd with /sbin/v86d in it

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 (

I searched the parametres though the documents in kernel source tree.
 The document shows just like what I wrote .

you have "aty" in the strings above - shouldnt it be "ati"

I dont currently have an ati card to check, but it doesnt look right ...

I rebuild my kernel ,I chose extra options which are contact 
 with VESA ：
  
 [*]VESA  VGA graphics support
 [*]Userspace VESA VGA graphics support
 [*]ATI Radeon display support
  
 I'm sure that the vesa frame buffer support option was 
 chosen by default.
 Then I write grub.conf like this:
  
 root=/dev/sda6  video=1024x768M@60m
  
 It is what the document in source tree exactly shows. The 
 system can start up and there is no error message ,but resolution
 no changed .
 Why it would be this? How can I figure it out?
