Fedora has a new driver out in the last few days that attempts to
address (probably) the same problem.  This is now at 1.3.0-5.fc7

As an experiment I extracted vesa_drv.so from the fedora package.  Then
I booted into an alpha version of the Ubuntu Feisty livecd, and copied
over the vesa driver.  Then i tried startx and the Xorg log had the same
result.

I am starting to think that the only real way to debug this is to put in
detailed debugging output in the mode selection part of the driver.  I
looked at how much effort it would take to build vesa_drv from source,
but ran out of time.

Is there a simple set of instructions for building the driver?
