I'm just about to build the xorg-server drivers and noticed that the vesa
driver has gone from the book. I'm not an expert in xorg and I could
successfully start my xserver using the fbdev driver in my qemu vm that I
started with vga=std. However, the current vesa driver
xf86-video-vesa-2.4.0.tar.gz builds and runs fine with current lfs/blfs.

Is there a reason that it got dropped, maybe like there be no actual hardware
or virtual environment requring it?
The qemu VM's with vga=std work pretty well with the KMS driver, which is much
better than the vesa one. ISTR that was the reason for removing the veas
driver.
Yes, the x server actually unloads the vesa driver in that case again after
loading it, so it is not even used when present. Guess, I'll droo it, too
in my setup.
