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.)
