I do (or I did when I was using Pre7) rely on VESA to drive my  
framebuffer.

I remember having to patch Pre7 when I installed it. The patch was  
the one mentioned at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/ 
multimedia/mplayer.html (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ 
downloads/6.1/MPlayer-1.0pre7-kernel_2.6-1.patch).

what is vesautils...
has support for VESA been removed from Pre8?
