To use the Vesa driver,

1. create a nest if you haven't already got one with the menu
configuration tools
2. Open the Rox filer from the right hand disk bar on the desktop
3. Go to the /etc/X11 folder
4. Open the file xorg.conf for editing
5. Search for the term "nv"
6 Change this to "vesa"
7 Save and quit the file
8 Reboot and use the nest
9 see if you can now use Blender
