kfreebsd 10.1 in jessie has KMS, a framebuffer console and 3D acceleration. 3D gaming and high-definition video playback is possible.
Intel
Intel graphics chipsets probably work best, using the free i915kms driver.
You may need to load kernel modules manually before Xorg starts (731182, 731182) :
# kldload drm2
# kldload i915kms
AMD/ATI
The free driver requires non-free microcode from firmware-linux-nonfree (we can use the package on kfreebsd). Otherwise Xorg may fall back to vesa mode.
You may need to load kernel module drm2 manually before Xorg starts (731182) :
# kldload drm2

perfect, performs even better than Linux! |
The proprietary driver from AMD is not available for GNU/kFreeBSD.
nVidia
Normally the vesa driver will be used.
The old "nv" driver is available (it is open-source, but found in Debian's "non-free" respository). Testing is needed. It is unclear which cards will work.
