On my ThinkPad X300 (with Intel GM965 SVGA Controller), I have to load
i915.ko from /boot/loader.conf or via kldload(8) to suspend/resume
from console. Otherwise, I run X.org and use the /etc/rc.suspend and
/etc/rc.resume scripts to invoke vidcontrol(1), switching to ttyv1
before suspend, and switching back to ttyv9 (X.org) after resume. This
is the only way I can "reliably" use suspend/resume.

/usr/sbin/vidcontrol -s 1 < /dev/console

/usr/sbin/vidcontrol -s 9 < /dev/console
