Sorry, we haven't got it. Also, why do you need VESA driver at all? Wouldn't just removing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf altogher make system work? If not, please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, could I still get the answer why you have to use VESA driver?

Comment 10 Maximiliano Castanon 2010-12-15 20:11:42 UTC
By the same reason why it exist... to be used when we require it... in my case it doesn't work at all...

Comment 11 Adam Jackson 2011-02-09 16:56:12 UTC
Can you attach a picture of the broken display caused by the vesa driver?  Note that a screenshot probably will not show anything wrong.
