The tdfxfb module has no parameters. It would be ideal if the tdfxfb mainatiner would add some MODULE_PARM lines for all the parameters and move the code from tdfxfb_setup that does work into tdfxfb_init. I think a valid work-around for you is to use fbset after you load the module to set the resolution. Does that work?
