SUPPORTED HARDWARE
The vesa driver supports most VESA-compatible video cards. There are

Is there a list of such "known exceptions"? That is, VESA-compatible
cards which are known NOT to work at all or well enough with this
driver?
I don't know of such a list. Possibly one existed when that man page
was written.
Secondly, in more general terms, how likely is it to find Laptops
(especially), or PC/monitor combinations which are NOT
VESA-compatible?
Right now, the odds of that are close to zero.
In about a year or two, for new hardware, those odds are going to be
much closer to one. The UEFI transition is going to mean that the vesa
driver will no longer work.
Why do you ask?
