I just properly set up uvesafb like mentioned here as workaround:

Ubuntu's v86d didn't work for me and I installed the latest version available here:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/uvesafb/

To install:

1. Extract
2. Open Makefile and replace
KDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/source
with
KDIR ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
3. Install libklibc and libklibc-dev
4. ./configure --with-klibc && make && sudo make install

Reboot => Usplash and uvesafb working.

Resolutions (usplash and uvesafb) are 1024*768 for my 1280*768 laptop and 1280*1024 for my PC.
