Sorry, I was too fast about this, as I had misspelled the line in 
/boot/loader.conf.

When correctly written, the machine boots, but as soon as the kmod is 
loaded:
_ if the screen is connected via VGA connector, everything is fine (but 
this is also true without this setting);
_ if the screen is connected via HDMI, it goes blank for good (can't 
interact with the system anymore and have to reboot);
_ if the screen is connected via DVI, resolution goes to 1024x768 and 
that's the maximum available even after X11 is started.

So, this is a no go.

  bye & Thanks
