Please don't top post.

You're still managing to avoid the original question here, which is
"what should the vesa driver do when it notices it's being run under
Parallels".  Every log I've seen from you is of the server _starting_,
and getting far enough that it can actually serve clients.

We can easily fix the vesa driver to do something smarter in that
situation, which avoids ever screwing with the config file, or with the
horror of s-c-d.
