That doesn't apply to his system.  I have an older HP netbook (i386) that 
resumes fine in text mode with syscons, but does not resume in text mode in 
vt(4).  (This is a case where the VESA bits actually help rather than hurt.)  
However, if I kldload the kms driver ('kldload i915kms') when using vt(4), 
then resume works fine (and it also works fine in X).

Marek,

Can you try 'kldload i915kms' before you suspend and see if that fixes your 
issue?
