No, VESA support wasnt compiled in. It seems that these cards are very sensetive to their device drivers - so maybe FreeBSD is doing something valid-but-unusual which tickles a bug in it that doesnt get hit by other operating systems ? Its frustrating that its so hard to reproduce too as it makes the chances of fixng it very slim indeed. Sigh. -pcf.
