(media) key handling, specifically the key grabbing, has been moved into GNOME shell (previously it was a mix of gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-shell, which was a huge mess). This does affect the flashback (formerly known as fallback) mode, also on Linux. > 2-GDM unusable (using LightDM now) GDM relies on GNOME Shell now, so you need working 3D support. Not necessarily hardware accelerated, llvmpipe works too, but I don't know the state of llvmpipe on kfreebsd. For i386/amd64 at least llvmpipe works okayish (tested in a VM). > 3- Wallpaper doesn't appear, just a black screen. Also a flashback mode issue (which also affects Linux).

I don't know the state of 3D (hardware accelerated or llvmpipe) on kfreebsd. Would be great if someone more knowledgeable would provide more insight. > I recommend to you install kFreeBSD and test for themselves to see what I'm > talking about. It's almost unusable :/ The bad experience you encouter looks to a big part due to the bad state the flashback/fallback mode is currently in. And unfortunately I only see it get worse over time unless someone steps up to help maintain/develop it. As for GNOME Shell / GDM not running on kfreebsd: We'd love to see kfreebsd users/porters/developer investigate that. None of us Debian GNOME maintainers use kfreebsd, so we rely on fixes/patches from others.
