xfree86: Prefer fbdev to vesa

Browse Source 
On UEFI machines you'd prefer fbdev to grab efifb instead of vesa trying
to initialize and failing in a way we can't unwind from.  On BIOS
machines this is harmless: either there is an fbdev driver and it'll
probably be more capable, or there's not and vesa will kick in anyway.
