Time and inclination I can't promise =), but I'd like to look into it
and we'll see if there's anything that can be done. Can you send or
pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from a boot with the broken
driver? if the display is too corrupt to be usable, you can boot with
the broken driver, then reboot to runlevel 3 and take a copy
of /var/log/Xorg.0.log before switching back to the vesa driver and
going back to a working graphical boot to send the report. thanks!
