; ATI/Radeon: : 3D acceleration will not work on [[wikipedia:en:ATI Technologies|ATI]] or [[wikipedia:en:Radeon|Radeon]] cards until FreeBSD completes its [[wikipedia:Translation Table Maps|TTM]]<ref>[https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Kernel_drivers FreeBSD Wiki: Graphics#Kernel drivers]</ref> work (possibly in time for FreeBSD 10.0)<ref>[https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/X11/Roadmap FreeBSD Wiki: Ports/X11/Roadmap]</ref>. You can still use these cards, but you will have to choose the 2D driver, and if that does not work, you will need to resort to using the Vesa driver. ; Intel: : GhostBSD supports 3D acceleration on most Intel graphics cards. Due to the current [[wikipedia:en:kernel mode-setting|KMS]] support<sup>[https://wiki.freebsd.org/Intel_GPU]</sup>, you will not be able to switch between the graphical console and a virtual console (using <tt>[[wikipedia:en:Ctrl key|Crtl]]</tt>+<tt>[[wikipedia:en:Alt key|Alt]]</tt>+<tt>[[wikipedia:en:Function key|F#]]</tt>) when using the "sc" console driver. : Switching between graphics and text consoles will work when using the "vt" console driver, and GhostBSD right now default to "vt" console. ; Nvidia Graphics: : Yes!
