xorg-video-vesa 2.3.3

The following device drivers were removed (as these devices are rather 
old and drivers were 32-bit only):
xorg-video-apm
xorg-video-ark
xorg-video-chips
xorg-video-glint
xorg-video-i128
xorg-video-i740
xorg-video-neomagic

xorg-video-s3
xorg-video-s3virge
xorg-video-siliconmotion
xorg-video-sis
xorg-video-tdfx
xorg-video-tga
xorg-video-tseng

X-consolidation (a meta-package, installing all X Window packages) was 
marked obsolete as a rudiment of XNV gate.
To install typical desktop system you are supposed to use 
metapackages/gui-install meta-package.

Great thanks to Alan Coopersmith and Ken Mays, without them it would be 
hardly possible.

Also we are greatful to Oracle corporation for open x-s12-clone gate.

Please update your systems and report any issues.
