Bugday 10: Help test the XFree86 vesa driver.

[Jef Spaleta]

Mike Harris has asked for testing of the Vesa video driver, which could
be used for a "safe mode" in Fedora. The problem is that many BIOS's
Vesa modes are broken, so he needs a good blacklist of broken situations
with the Vesa driver

You can find example instructions on how to go through a Vesa driver
test for your video hardware here:
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/VesaDriverTesting

Please read through the testing example completely before starting your
test, paying extra attention to the instructions for searching for and
filing bug reports for this test procedure.

And please be aware that vesa driver testing is focusing on low level X
operation and not on application level issues. The testing is
specifically to test: 
1) video driver/X server stability 
2) Screen corruption/splitting/misalignment/similar 
3) mouse pointer corruption/misalignment

If there is no X server crash, no screen corruption/misalignment, no
mouse problems, then the vesa driver is working and you don't need to
file a bug report as part of this test procedure.
