Dozens, far too many to show here, but the server does not like Vesa I

Further experiments with xrandr. Run to query available modes it
spit out a list including 1280x1024. Run this way to set that mode:
xrandr -s 1280x1024 and nothing happens. Run it again to query and that
mode is missing.
This sounds like a BUG. Never had these kind of problems before the last
update.
