Bad experience switching to SSD on FreeBSD 10.3

I found a doc which says the keyboard can be used with linux with this 
script :

#!/bin/bash
FLAGS=$(xset -q | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{ print $10 }')
if [ "$FLAGS" = 00000000 ]; then
	xset led on
else
	xset led off
fi

Would this kind of script work on FreeBSD too ?
