I follow this guide compile the kernel, add 
video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap line to grub kernel command line.


The framebuffer size didn't change, one more problem the console is very 
slow. When I input one character from keyboard, it respond 1 second 
later. I checked the system status(Top, free -m) it seems no problem.





Here is mine, if it helps.
vga=0x31B video=vesafb:1280x1024-16,mtrr:3,ywrap

Perhaps you need the vga statement for your option at the beginning?

 I follow Gentoo Handbook to installl a new sytem in Vmware. My
 question is the new system console is 800*600. I want to change to
 1280*800(my laptop in windows in this szie).

 If I add video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317 in grub, system.failed to

In my experience, uvesafb is slower  doesn't actually support any
more resolutions than vesafb, so I don't use it myself; other than
one really nifty uvesafb has.  It probes the video card  attached
display to determine supported modes, and provides that list in
/sys/devices/platform/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes.  So I'll use uvesafb to
get that list, and choose a resolution I want from it, and then use
vesafb w/ that video mode.


YMMV,
