Its a wscons ddx layer for MIT X.
Back in the late 90s early 2000s I remember using Xvesa on linux which ran great on a 16MB 486. I needed something similar for my Powerbook due to low memory.
The stock x11 with NetBSD required too many resources and ran too slow on the Powerbook.
So I thought it would be great to have Xvesa equiv for NetBSD.
Tiny core linux had the Xvesa and Xfbdev X servers with an automake/autoconf setup. So I forked it and added the missing components for NetBSD (keyboard, mouse, wscons framebuffer support).
That's how it happened.
Best regards,
