My experience from qemu is that vesa doesn't support resolution 1920x1080.  In 
this case I couldn't use it.  I'll test it.

The vesa driver can be run on most systems where the newer graphics are

Unfortunately no, according to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics the
Radeon HD 8000 'Sea Islands' series is not supported at all yet.

My understanding is that once i915 is upgraded to the equivalent of
Linux 3.8 things should start moving somewhat faster.

The freebsd forums require a browser that supports modern tls versions.

It looks like that is a machine with Haswell integrated graphics.
Haswell graphics has not yet landed in CURRENT but there is a
development branch availible for testing.

I had a similar issue with my Dell M4800 until I entered BIOS
configuration (vi F12 key at boot), selected "Video," then disabled
"Switchable Graphics."

there is also an additional AMD graphics card in this laptop (AMD Radeon HD

this option is unfortunately not available in "Video" (only display brightness 
can be set there in my BIOS).
