I don't see that there ever was, except in the man page.


But looking through the history, I see that vesafb has been pulled from 
the i386 GENERIC config anyway in favor of genfb, so it's perhaps not so 
important now.

For what it's worth, I read about genfb as well before settling on 
vesafb, but couldn't even make sense of exactly what it was or who it was 
for, so I left it out...
