As reported by Stefan Blachmann in a reply on freebsd-hackers[1], having `options VESA` compiled into the kernel or loaded as a module breaks suspend-resume with the nvidia driver. See PR 253733. The default console is provided by vt(4), which does not use the `options VESA` driver, which serves no purpose for most users. (vt(4) supports a loader-set VBE mode via the vt_vbefb driver.) Thus, I plan to remove[2] options VESA from the x86 kernel config files. sc(4) users who wish to select alternate VBE modes will still be able to do so by loading the kernel module.
