Description:

This may be related to bug #10843, but this has nothing to do with VirtualBox. The recent xf86-video-vesa update (2.0.0-1 ) has caused Xorg to hang upon initialization, displaying a black screen with a frozen cursor in the top left corner.

CTRL-ALT-F1-F9 and C-A-Backspace are unresponsive, however C-A-Del does reboot as expected.

I have tried this with and without a xorg.conf present.


Additional info:
* xf86-video-vesa (2.0.0-1)
* Graphics card is an S3 Savage
* xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m10b2cf3d
* Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/m5075a18f

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade to xf86-video-vesa and execute 'startx'

I had an identical bug report (linked below) to this one that was closed in favor of bug #10843.
