--- Description ---
After today's update, vesa mode is no longer able to detect my graphics card:

[    31.110] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for scfb
[    31.110] scfb trace: probe start
[    31.111] scfb trace: probe done
[    31.111] vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver
[    31.111] (WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card
support
[    31.111] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[    31.111] (II) UnloadModule: "modesetting"
[    31.111] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section.
[    31.111] (II) UnloadModule: "vesa"

The "device with a bound kernel driver" message rings a bell.  Didn't something
like this happen a few years ago?  Anyway, nothing else changed today other
than the xorg-server update, so I can't account for why this would happen.
