I think we hit this in Fedora a while back.  The issue was that vesa was 
setting up the framebuffer shadow wrong, effectively not using it but just 
drawing straight to the framebuffer.  Yow.

I could have sworn I'd pushed the patch for that upstream, but apparently not.  
Updating now though, I'll release the new one momentarily.
