I successfully used VESA drivers on 1.6.1. My hardware is indeed
supported ( I currently fight with Modelines given by xf86cfg, tho ;) ),
but I like using vesa because it "should work out of the box", as many
cards are vesa-compatible. I like using it as a debug-method, for
example. What I found interesting, too, was:

# grep -i shadow /etc/X11/XF86Config
