vesa is an XFree86 driver for generic VESA video cards. It can
drive most VESA-compatible video cards, but only makes use of the basic
standard VESA core that is common to these cards. The driver supports depths
8, 15 16 and 24.
The vesa driver supports most VESA-compatible
video cards. There are some known exceptions, and those should be listed
