Still, we'd appreciate help. I still have the FreeBSD/VT regression bug open (with an attached patch). While we're working around it locally, it would be great if that regression from 2.20 could also be addressed. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498333 This VT problem has also been recently raised on Linux in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511168 . I'd be happy to work with you on this patch as I really feel this is important to fix in 2.22. Our test users have been commenting that GDM is working quite well now on FreeBSD with one other exception (patched locally), http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510469 .
