I thought this would be a small change (since the default was already
supposed to be this way) but as usual with acpi, there is a lot of
variation out there. I think it's split about 50/50 between systems
where enabling this feature is helpful/neutral and those that it is harmful.
The default value of the tunable/sysctl for hw.acpi.reset_video has
changed from 1 to 0 (off). This means the BIOS video reset method will
not be called automatically on resume. If you want the previous
behavior, set hw.acpi.reset_video="1" in /boot/loader.conf or
/etc/sysctl.conf.
If a committer could throw the 2nd paragraph in UPDATING, that would be
nice, thanks.
Thanks,
