I'm having the same problem with a Dell XPS M1530 and 9-CURRENT - the
display refuses to switch on after resuming. I've tried
hw.acpi.reset_video, switching consoles using vidcontrol and using the=20
acpi_video module: setting the reset_video sysctl causes the machine to
reboot during resume, and toggling hw.acpi.video.crt1.active just
produces a beep with no change in the LCD status (it works before
suspend).

http://blog.higherthings.org/borghardt/article/3077.html suggests that
on a different XPS machine with Linux the VESA BIOS Extensions shouldn't
be saved/restored - is there a way to try disabling that on FreeBSD?
