This issue still exists on the released saucy, i.e.  linux kernel 
3.11.0-12-generic.
Apparently the issue is about vmwgfx, so a workaround is to disable vmwgfx by 
adding a boot parameter like "vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=no" because if 
"vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=0" is used, vmwgfx module is still loaded. 
The boot parameter "vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=no" makes kernel complain "vmwgfx: `no' 
invalid for parameter `enable_fbdev'" so it won't be loaded. Ugly workaround 
but it works.
It would be better that KMS mode could work with uvesafb.

Steven.
