I just tested 2.6.27-rc9 on my laptop, which uses uvesafb. I notice that I need to update
/sbin/modprobe uvesafb mode=1400x1050
to
/sbin/modprobe uvesafb mode_option=1400x1050
but the documentation in Documentation/fb/uvesafb.txt happily talks about the mode option. It would be nice to have the documentation updated at least, but might I also question this move at all? Why call something 'mode_option' when 'mode' is shorter and the fact that it's an option really is clear from the fact you mention it on the commandline, like, how-do-I-call-it, yes-I-remember, an option?
Or are we moving toward 'mtrr_option', 'scroll_option', 'vram_remap_option' etc? I don't think that really a good idea, so the easiest thing to do would be to revert the patch that did this rename, since that resyncs the Documentation to the actual module and removes the needless description of the 'mode' option.
Kind regards, Jurriaan
