As subject says, should I use uvesafb or the neofb for my framebuffer.
The card is an MagicGraph 128XD

I have good experience of uvesafb on my desktop computer and wondering if I should switch to it on my laptop too.

NeoFB is for neomagics card, if you got 1, use it! It will be faster than VESA if it is hardware accelerated using the real API of the card instead of the generic one.
