** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  xserver-xorg-video-vesa doesn't work when KMS is in use on my machines,
  but changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe to use fbdev lets failsafe X
  work. pm-utils has a method of determining of KMS is in use that could
  possibly be used in the /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer script to determine
  which driver should be picked for fallback_driver in there instead of
  just using vesa.
  
  grep -q -E '(nouveau|drm)fb' /proc/fb
  
  a nouveau KMS fb is called nouveaufb, a radeon KMS fb is called
- radeondrmfb and an intel KMS fb is called inteldrmfb. those are the only
- use cases of KMS currently.
+ radeondrmfb a vmware KMS fb is called svgadrmfb and an intel KMS fb is
+ called inteldrmfb. those are the only use cases of KMS currently.

Failsafe X should pick fbdev instead of vesa if KMS is in use
