Martin, about the vesa driver, you seem to misunderstand. So I'll try to state 
it clearly:
1) on 8.10 I was using sis driver, then I switched to vesa - it was slow but it 
was running ok - I could watch movies, play old games, run flash apps.
2) after update to 9.04 all activities like those mentioned became hardly 
possible - other (than problem with games under wine) symptoms are:
a) movies are laggy in fullscreen
b) flash lags (eg. in youtube sound overtakes picture then it has to stop for a 
bit for picture to catch up)
c) firefox scrolling lags
d) smplayer stopped working with xv video settings (I have no idea what it is 
but it gave me the best results before update) - crashes very often (but I 
don't know if it is anyhow related)
3) when I noticed these problems I switched to sis driver - that gave me no 
positive effects

All of this makes me think that new X.org is trying to do something that
the SiS 661/741/760 isn't able to do - no matter what driver is being
used. It has no DRI, so maybe it is somehow related to it?

I'm running on sis driver now (thanks to sisctrl package I managed to
deal with my external monitor somehow) so if you need any other tests to
be performed or logs to be submitted - I can do that.
