Xvesa freezes the computer - no log file?

[Alok Bhatt]

unfortunately even a simple Xvesa :1 & does not work. i tried using -core 
but i don't know if the server encounters an error at all, nor do i know 
where the dump file is. do you know why it's just a blank screen... because 
2 checkouts ago it was fine, on kernel 2.6.4-ck2. i know someone got it 
working on 2.6.5-mm4 as well.
