Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Putting 'xforcevesa' on the livecd cmdline should force the driver as vesa, but that doesn't work because of changes to the xserver-
Marking as release critical because of it being a regression.

What are the cases for which we need to be able to force use of vesa? I'm not convinced this is release-critical considering that I've never heard of this boot option before, and given that an override should only be needed in case of bugs in other drivers.
