To be fair, Mate gets maintained well and ericbsd keeps an eye on this DE since its the main DE for GhostBSD.
I do recommend to check GPU drivers first before trying other DE's. It would be just a waste.
If you think you have configured it correctly then you can check with dmesg | grep drm for DRM activity.
Here is an working example:
Code:
dmesg | grep drm

and with glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" from graphics/mesa-demos or graphics/glx-utils you can check if Xorg is using your GPU. Should be the renderer llvmpipe then its software rendering.
