Of course this is the real issue. Removing VESA is just a band-aid and will
become a problem once newcons makes it out the door (any day now).

I'd like to try to figure out the scope of the problem, if possible. In
most (all?) reports, removing VESA has worked on Thinkpads. I think I have
seen reports that it works on other platforms, but I'm not positive. I also
believe that it has been reported to not work for attempts to
suspend/resume when in text mode... only when in X. (I guess I can test
this myself.)

For almost four years all vesa commits were by jkim.
