Description-en: X.Org X server -- VESA display driver
This driver for the X.Org X server (see xserver-xorg for a further description)
uses the standard VESA interface provided on all video cards, but runs
unaccelerated. This driver is not recommended for use unless you have a
problem with the normal driver for your card, because it will perform very
badly.
.
More information about X.Org can be found at:

.
This package is built from the X.org xf86-video-vesa driver module.
