"vesa" is working for me on i845 in IBM ThinkCentre and i830 in IBM
Thinkpad R31.  At one point I went back a couple releases getting "vesa"
failures on the i830.  Recently on karmic there was a "vesa" change I
think, developers would know, and now it is working for me.

For what I do as an "ordinary user", internet email, internet browsing,
internet flash video, internet shopping, printing internet articles
including graphics, word processing, spreadsheets, digital photo editing
& printing, what did I forget, "vesa" works fine.  I don't do games.

Since karmic debug time is running short I'd vote for "blacklisting"
i830 and i845 from the current defaults which don't work for me, to
"nomodeset" and "vesa" which do work (unless some update does some
damage).  Much the same thing was (is?) done on jaunty blacklisting
"compiz" on pc's with these chips.  This ATI radeon Xpress 200 defaults
to nomodeset as it is.

Thanks for looking at this, Jerry
