Then you need to config your kernel

{{Device Drivers ->

   <*> Connector - unified userspace <-> kernelspace linker  --->
   Graphics support ->
       [*] Support for frame buffer devices  --->
           [*] Enable firmware EDID
           Console display driver support ->
               [*] Video mode selection support
               [*] Video mode handling helpers
           Frame buffer hardware drivers
           [*] Userspace VESA VGA graphics support}}

Finally update your boot.conf

add video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap (or similar) to your kernel command line

like here {{boot {

       generate grub
       default "Funtoo Linux uvesafb" 
       timeout 3 

} "Funtoo Linux uvesafb" {

       kernel bzImage-uvesafb[-v]
       params += video=uvesafb:1440x900-8,mtrr=2} }}

Then run

and
