Not that I'm surprised...
I followed the installation tips and did everything accordingly, but the end result was a no-go. I reconfigured xserver-xorg and selected the vesa driver, only to find out that my screen is all messed up. Not as messed up as with the ATI drivers - I couldn't read or see anything, it was like somebody threw buckets of paint at my screen - but still pretty painful for the eyes.
Here is the xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

And this is what fgl_glxgears outputs:

Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".

Perhaps "Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"." might be the problem here?
Also, the graphics are perfectly normal at the login screen, but as soon as I log in they become painful to the eyes. I would post a screenshot, but when I made the snapshot and opened it in Windows, the graphics were normal.
