IIRC it broke in between two kfreebsd 10.1 snapshots?  You may want to
build the latest package from SVN which is much more recent (BETA 3).
Otherwise it may not be too difficult to bisect to whatever commit broke
this?  There were very few that touched the kernel in that period.

I had the opposite problem with `mplayer -vo xv` - that fails unless you
chmod that device 777 or add the desktop user to the video group (I
guess that is probably a feature).  `-vo gl` works fine with or without.

Okay I'll give that a go and try to reproduce it.  Could be a lot of
reasons for that (graphics driver, perhaps pulseaudio, or VLC itself).

Yes, that.  With radeonkms, it only started working for me in 10.1.
Although I have to `pkill jackd` and `kldunload snd_envy24` because that
module has a problem with suspend (exact same as on Linux, actually).

Sometimes resume from suspend is extremely fast (< 5 seconds) but other
times the SATA disk seems to take a scary while to reset/resume.
