are you using a Genode release version or the github master branch? If
it's the github master branch, the VESA driver chooses the highest
resolution mode reported by the VESA BIOS, which might be more than the
monitor can handle in some cases. Here it would be useful again to see
the log messages. In any case, the VESA driver (fb_drv) can be
configured to choose a specific resolution mode like this:

<config width="1024" height="768" />

BTW, could you please tell us what hardware you are using exactly (CPU
model, mainboard model, how much RAM)?

Best regards,
Christian
