Changing my previous comment, for my nvidia card the nvidiafb driver is
not needed, a wrong testing procedure made me think that. Vesafb is more
than enough as Jean has noted.

So the suggestions by NeverMind, satkata and Absorbed are basically the
same and worked as is for me without needing additional modules for my
nvidia card. Maybe other cards require other modules instead of the
vesafb, maybe that is the reason why it is not working for evryone.

If this is the case this links can be useful to find which fb module
needs each card:
