I install Ubuntu 7.04 on my old PC with i810 chipset. So I want to enable i810fb in my system.
In the system, I already update the kernel image to 2.6.20-16.
First, I don't want to recompile the kernel. I want to use the module to enable i810fb. But when I use 
    modprobe i810fb options
to load the i810fb module, there is nothing happens. And I use 
    lsmod | grep fb
I can find vesafb & i810fb. I don't know how to disable the kernel load the vesafb. 

Then, I try to recompile then kernel. I got some errors  
.....
