VESA has stopped being useful on my SiS 55x, flash based workstation. The symptoms are an insistence that the video inputs are incorrect (the monitor complains). aux/vga -p seems to return valid information, but there's not much I can check. I didn't find VESA all that useful when it did work (it was over a year ago) because of artifacts such as leaving a cursor trail, but at least I could get some graphics. Nevertheless, I'm sure all the hard work at Bell Labs should not go to waste. Can somebody explain in some details how rsc's 8i would be used to make VESA more useful as has been suggested in the past? ++L
