GUI no longer starting after recent updates "VESA(0): No matching modes"

[Arch Willingham]

I didn't set the driver - its just whatever the startup chose??? As background, I had an old crap#y video card that did not work worth a hooie. I found another older card around here, stuck it in and it worked fine until the most recent updates outlined in my post.

Thanks for creating the bug thing!

You seem to be using the vesa driver.  Why are you not using the trident
driver?

That said, it's certainly due to a recent change in the vesa driver.
We're trying to set 24+32bpp but your card doesn't support that.  We
_should_ detect that case correctly but clearly aren't.

I've created a bug for the issue:
