I built a kernel with that for 6.3-RELEASE and it works just fine.
That is to say, the kernel builds, installs, boots and runs. But VESA
itself is another story because I still can't change the syscons
resolution with vidcontrol and the screensavers don't work either.

Perhaps you can send me your kernel config file?
