Greetings,

A grep of Xorg.0.log [1] seems to indicate that only the vesa driver is
loaded and then used by X on my PC.
    On the other hand, when the intel driver loads on my laptop with an 
external VGA port, the intel driver uses VGA as the name for the exposed 
port. You can then use Identifier "VGA" [2] to override the EDID, which 
the X probe returns.
    What's the name that the vesa module uses for its exposed video
port? (It's the vesa port name that needs to appear in xorg.conf in
order to force a mode.) 

Note.
