<pre>Hi Kevin,

Okay. So do you mean "vga=XXX" option in grub?

Agree on that. xf86-video-vesa can be used with VBE. And current new
driver(i.e. Intel/ATI) does not apply VBE anymore. They have already has its
CRTC/Encoder/Connector routines to initialize the port and video card.

For SW cursor option, I suggest you keep it now. Because based on my experience
before, for some cases(i.e. rotation), the HW cursor has the possibility to be
broken.

:). I does not like legacy stuff too.
Thanks,
