Bugday 9.1: Useful detailed draft of vesa driver testing procedure.

Sorry if this hits the list twice. I think the first attempt got eaten
in the ether. 

Well kids, I got a draft of the vesa driver testing procedure up. And
more importantly i finally poked mharris in the eye with a sharp-pointy
stick enough times to get him to give me feedback.
Which of course necessitated a full re-write of the draft.
But now that i have a draft i sort of like and mharris is not actively
foaming at the mouth about, I'm ready to share it so people on
fedora-devel-list and run the vesa driver test.

Its pretty long. Too long, really. But I'm aiming for instructions I can
take to the higher volume and less technically inclined readers on
fedora-list at some point in an effort to cover as much video hardware
as possible. Different revisions of the same card might have problems so
it needs a wide testing to make the blacklisting of cards as complete as
possible.

Besides running the vesa test and filing bugs, I want the -devel-list
readership to think about making these instructions better. It has been
brought up that maybe this longwinded instruction set can be turned into
a scripted testsuite to lower the bar for testing. I'm all ears.

I would also be interested in feedback from other developers who would
like to do a similar focused hardware testing activities.
