None of the three previous links have panned out.

I have discovered a workaround, however:  KVM-85 will, in fact, work if
you specify the PCI device in xorg.conf as follows:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "vesa"
        BusID           "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Make this change, download kvm-85, build the user-land code, install it
somewhere (I use /usr/local/kvm), and you can use vesa mode with a
Jaunty guest and a Jaunty kvm-source host kernel module.
