Hi Robert,
A couple months ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding the
X server being very slow with the vesa driver. Does this problem still
happen today? There has not been many changes upstream in the vesa
For stable and testing ...

The problem still exists in "testing".
For unstable ...
" The following packages will be REMOVED
" tzdata util-linux util-linux-locales
" The following packages will be upgraded:
" libc6 libc6-dev libdrm-dev libdrm2 locales xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core
" WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
" This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
" util-linux tzdata (due to util-linux)
so I really don't want to try to upgrade to unstable right now :-)
Still I _think_ the problem is in the vesa driver itself which is the
same version across all of stable, testing and unstable.
However, I will try again next week.
