Why don't you just remove vesa?

Code:
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-vesa // or whatever the package name is
Alternatively, you can blacklist it.

Code:
echo "blacklist vesa" > /etc/modprobe.d/vesa.conf

Check your GRUB boot options that you are not forcing VESA is a good place to start:

Hello snowpine and abrinister,

thanks alot for taking time to help me and help others.

actually you will be unable to remove or unload the vesa driver even if you block it from module black list or remove the xserver-vesa from sypantic manager if your driver is (intel), what i did is just install the latest intel driver:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

reference:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/4658/...2-855gm-driver

it's almost 4 days looking for this solution.
