I think I wrote on this sometime in June or July. I went without internet access from about late-Feb/early-March through
late-May/early-June. Once I was able to cvsup again, the problem was there. After writing to the list on this, I was responded to
by the syscons maintainer [I forget his name, but I'll buy him a sake or Saporro to apologize for my memory lapse someday] who said
that VESA is broken and should not be in my config. Sure enough, removing VESA fixed it.
The closest answer I can give is the time-frame from about Feburary through June. My schedule is quite full right now, but I could
do a little browsing through the attic as I can, and see what I can find related to both vm86 and syscons, as long as there are
other eyes looking for it too.
