is it all of vesa? In my testing 1.2.0 vesa works fine except for a few
modes: duke3d 800x600x256, sc2000 640x480x256, and all arachne 256 color
modes work fine here.

Arachne in 800x600 hicolor mode gives here (when the X server is in 24/32
bit true color mode)
ERROR: X: X_setmode: video mode 0x114 not supported on this screen
and the X window is black. But this is explained in README.txt:


   The current implementation supports 4 and 8 bit SVGA modes on all
   types of X display. Hi-color modes are supported only on displays
   matching the exact color depth (15 or 16); true color modes are
   supported only on true color X displays, but always both 24 bit and 32
   bit SVGA modes.

[...]

   If a VGA mode is not supported on your current X display, the graphics
   screen will just remain black. Note that this does not mean that
   xdosemu has crashed.

Can you provide more detail? Also, there were just a few changes in the
src/env/video directory between 1.1.99.1 and 1.1.99.2 so you can easily
try which one broke vesa for you -- I can't imagine anything else
than vgaemu.c but that looks strange.

Or perhaps you switched the color depth of your X server?
