Hi Liam and all,

Not too much. Here's what I've got:

At that point, the VESA driver starts to initialize.
The only warnings/errors in there seem to be related to fbdev. Here
they are for the whole file:
$ grep -E '\(EE|WW\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist.
(WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType".
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbdev
(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory
(WW) VESA(0): Unable to estimate virtual size

Thanks for any advice you can offer. I feel pretty clueless about
X-related stuff.
Best,
