I've been unable to report the bug on the vesa driver - Launchpad
won't let me report any new bugs!

BTW this system is set up to triple-boot into XP, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD
7.1. I just set up Xorg and Gnome on the FreeBSD partition - and the
vesa driver on that behaves the same way - the system locks up on
exiting from Gnome. I haven't tried the savage driver on that system,
if it has one.
