Well, I've upgraded to 2.4.25 and the newest kernel in unstable.  The
problem isn't completely gone, but it's certainly a lot less noticeable.
When I have the time, I'll still send the bug report upstream and keep
you in the loop.

Thanks,

Package: xserver-xorg-video-vesa
Version: 1:2.3.0-5
Severity: normal


  Executing "X" on a console (/dev/tty?) (a laptop computer)
with the "vesa" video driver results in an error message:

X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.

  The file "/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config" contains:

allowed_users=console

  This parameter must then be changed to "anybody" to bypass the
error.

  That should not be necessary.

It won't.  A targetted fix might, if it can be tracked down and is
obvious enough to not cause regressions.
