Nope. If I turn off modesetting, it has even bigger problems. I seem
to recall I couldn't even get X to start the last time I tried it.
The default setting seem to work better than any others, but
the default now crashes 5 or 6 times during the day (was only
about once a week before updates).

What I really would like is to be able to convince the vesa
driver to do 1920x1200 resolution, and just use a nice stable
non-accelerated non-3d driver until the fancy drivers catch
up, but I don't think anyone is interested in developing drivers
that are stable, but can't make windows shake like jello :-).
