Nothing surprising here.  Few systems have S1.

I should make these default to min(hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state) instead
of just S1.  But no problems here either.  You can try setting
hw.acpi.reset_video=0 to see if it helps your screen resume.  Check out
the ACPI section from the FreeBSD handbook.  Some people put a lot of
effort into documenting things and it seems that no one has read it.
