Google says it's a bug in xorg:

Note that I did not use the fix_modesetting patch for xorg-server.
I'll try reverting the change in xorg-server and see if that makes a difference.
Reverting the change was a bit tricky due to -Werror issues, but I was able to
do it. The server still worked with nouveau, but not vesa. I'mm getting pretty
good at changing the kernel configuration, rebuilding, and installing the
kernel. I can do it in about 2 minutes.
However now when I try to run xorg with vesa, it just hangs in the server. :(
There is something definately going on in the xorg server with the vesa driver,
but my little experiment didn't fix the problem.
I suppose we should just tag the driver as built and add a note that it does not
work properly with the current server. I don't think many people would want it
and would use the ati/nouveau/intel/modesetting drivers instead.
The alternative is to archive it. I've already archived cirrus in my sandbox
for my next commit.
Which way should we go?
