VESA or > whatever is fine. VESA is not fine, ancient Free drivers are debuggable code when something crashes, VESA is a proprietary code one cannot debug. It can for example crash in the VESA code due to a bug in Fedora code corrupting its stack etc, this is difficult to debug. Why is proposed a proprietary code over existing Free drivers? The size of `retrocomputing' drivers is negligible and the maintenance of them needs to be done anyway.
