Yes, without VESA, resume seems much more reliable on 10.0-RELEASE/amd64
with Nvidia: With a generic kernel, I put vesa_load="YES" in
/boot/loader.conf to be able to kldunload vesa later. With that, I just
had four successful suspend-and-resume cycles.

Unfortunately, my USB mouse does not work anymore: After the first
resume, it took a few seconds until it worked again (the build in
touchpad was back immediately). After the second resume, it would not
work anymore at all, even after reconnecting it to a different EHCI
port. It does work at a XHCI, though, until the next resume. Anyhow,
this is obviously not related to the original problem.
