Thanks you for bugreport - I know it well since it doesn't work for me too :(
Indeed, vesa:lvo is no longer supported by me.
This branch was suffered from MGA_VID limitations and I don't want to support it.
Use vesa:vidix instead. It's more advanced and more fast stuff (due direct rendering
with divxds codec and in the future, I hope, with other codecs too).
