--- Comment #1 from Stefan B. <sblachmann@gmail.com> ---
May I bump this, as suspend/resume is important for many people.

In addition to the corrections Graham suggested, the vt(4) man page should imho
honestly mention that with non-KMS-supported graphics cards/chips vt breaks
suspend/resume; in these cases sc should be used (except on UEFI systems ofc).

This problem caused me a lot of work in my autodetecting/autoconfiguring
installer for FreeBSD ( https://github.com/SkunkOS/SkunkInstall ), which also
configures for functional suspend/resume.
