I've toyed with this a bit off / on, but haven't been able to implement it by default for a few reasons. First, "vesa" isn't in the amd64 FreeBSD release. Second, I've run into enough issues with this to think that its not ready for "prime-time" to be enabled on all systems by default. I've had failures with it, and it causing weird xorg crashes as well :(
This is all on 7.x though. I'll gladly take a look at it again in 8.0 to see if some of these problems have gone away, and if so I'll implement it at that time.
