As I have been told by MrElendig, there is probably an upstream bug in 
1.17.1 version of xorg when dealing with VESA driver.

After upgrading to 1.17.1 I also have confirmed that XFCE works remotely 
in X2GO but it's not working locally. I suppose that's because X2GO 
doesn't use the video driver.

If I roll back to xorg 1.16.4, then XFCE works fine again locally.

After upgrading to 1.17.1 it's not possible to start any desktop 
environment because of the following xorg error: (EE) VESA(0): Cannot 
read int vect

Here is the log:
