vesa will always work. But vesa is not accelerated. Some People get good
fps for YT videos with the scfb vesa-driver though. But this only works
with uefi-Version of FreeBSD. Which I cannot use because it does not
support ZFS on root yet. For day-to-day stuff vesa works great and even
openttd works ;) but that's about it. No 3D, no accelerated 2D, no
Videos ...
