Recently the Xorg vesa driver stopped working in Ubuntu Jaunty [1] and Fedora Rawhide [2] when run inside kvm-84. Because it got broken in both, I'm guessing it's actually an Xorg bug.

The most interesting non-debug lines in Xorg.0.log are:

(II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
(EE) No devices detected.

The versions of the vesa driver are 2.2.0-3.fc11 for Fedora and 2.0.0-1ubuntu6 for Ubuntu Jaunty.
See the Ubuntu bug [1] for complete Xorg.0.log files before and after the breakage.

kvm-85 has been reported to work better for some users, but is not available in Debian experimental yet (so I cannot verify easily).
