IMO, that's not a fix per se.  The vesa driver and i810 driver are
separate things.

Using the i810 driver instead of the vesa driver to resolve the issue
(hang on VT switch) is a workaround, not a fix.

never said anything else. But I think, it's good to "educate" people to use drivers specific to their video card instead of the generic vesa driver - at least for the onboard intels.
