I've just rebuilt our development server in amd64 mode, and I can't use VESA. We keep a monitor attached to this server to display scrolling logs, which I know I'll miss. Any chance this will be in 6.1? If not I might finally install a proper log watcher and we stop taking shifts in front of the console :) Ashley
