As the title suggests.
While FreeBSD guests in console mode and basic 2D graphics works just fine, it's 3D acceleration that has been neglected. I always believed the reason why is because few FreeBSD users/developers adopted it due it having been a paid product for almost 25 years.
Now that all the VMWare desktop virtualization products are free for personal use, that might allow some FreeBSD developers to experiment with it more. Perhaps one day we'll see renewed interest in fixing/re-adding drm-kmod support for the vmwgfx driver. Then an even more wild idea... FreeBSD as a host for VMWare Workstation?
