You have not mentioned if you tried it with the OpenSound optional package. 
have you done that?

IIRC, this is a problem in the app_server when it tries to use double 
buffered drawing with acceleration (you can disable it in 
src/servers/app/drawing/AccelerantHWInterface.cpp::SetMode()). In any case, 
you don't need to be sorry at all to use VESA, you don't miss out on 
anything except video overlays. And that doesn't mean much because you can 
enable smooth scaling in the MediaPlayer. And if you really, really want 
smooth scaling in VLC as well, you can hack app_server to check the app 
signature in ServerWindow::DispatchGraphicsMessage() when handling 
DrawBitmap() and add the smooth scaling option for calls comming from 
VLC... ;-)

Best regards,
