No no no! VESA is Video Electronics Standards Association and is two 
things:
1) A high speed bus protocol
2) A protocol for high-res displays (640x400 and above). What Su27 is doing 
is trying to run in a better-than-VGA mode (actually 640x480 AFAIR) and 
failing because you haven't got a VESA driver. Usually game manufacturers 
supply one with the game, though you're better off using the one that came 
with the video card because it's probably optimised for the hardware. So, 
either force the game to run in VGA (it must say in the manual somewhere if 
that's possible -- I should imagine so because most VESA-only games run 
like dogs on 486s), or locate a VESA driver which should be on your video 
card's driver installation disks. Otherwise you need to get a VESA driver 
from Cirrus Logic, but I haven't got a clue what their www/ftp address is.
