--- Comment #1 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> ---
Which should it be: "vesa fails" (not UEFI) vs. "for scfb" (UEFI)?

vesa is documented to not be appropriate for UEFI. scfb is
documented as being appropriate for UEFI . . .

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/x11/ reports:

"VESA module must be used when booting in BIOS mode and SCFB module must be
used when booting in UEFI mode"

There are separate ports:

xf86-video-scfb
xf86-video-vesa

The little bit of material that you present references both.

(Be warned: I'm no expert in the area. I'm just repeating
material that I read.)
