FreeBSD 13.1: A VirtualBox Learning & Testing Environment! 

Great to hear!, agreed w/ the mouse!

Really glad you like it! :)

This video was born of my frustrations searching for hours and finding nothing about how to set a fixed resolution guest pre-install in VB. Had to dig deep in Oracles docs ;)

Glad it helped

That's great to hear!

Absolutely, no reason not to share! :)

Will do, thanks for the view!

Hi Alex, glad you like this one, and thanks for the suggestion! My prior BSD videos on the channel playlist are all on QEMU/KVM in case that is useful, and fixed resolutions are much easier however BSD drivers are non-existent afaik. :/

Unfortunately no - I use one big monitor to help with my old eyes. ;) Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing, glad it went well!

Thanks Tony! Have you seen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kzIWXdcrK5I.html ? As you can probably tell, it was quite blurry a lot of the time, with low performance. Still working on figuring out BSD graphics on Linux KVM!

@@stephenstechtalks5377, Thanks for your quick response. I have watched the above mentioned video and found it very informational. By using your video and a video from another RU-vid vlogger I was able to get FreeBSD with KDE running on KVM/QEMU. This was not an easy task due to video drivers for KVM/QEMU and mouse not working with xorg. Further research online lead me to using utouch-kmod & xf86-input-evdev and adding Input - EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet to Virt Manager to get mouse working properly. Then I used DRM KMod with rc.conf reference to kld_list=i915kms for graphics. This allowed me to get FreeBSD working at 1080p (even though I was hoping for 4K resolution) on KVM/QEMU and KDE. But as I mentioned this was not an easy task and I thought you might be able to provide us all with an easier method, or more new user friendly instruction video. BTW, I was able to get 4K resolution tweaking this video for VirtualBox. But, it is not stable and crashes. Regards, Tony

If the OS supports EFI mode, it can inject the nice logo on boot. :) Your CLI may be on a different virtual console - have you checked them? people.freebsd.org/~blackend/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/consoles.html Good luck!

@@stephenstechtalks5377 backgroud and text has the same color. but When I click to close VM window VirtualBox ask me what I want to do. In that moment I can see text in console.

My hosts run Linux, but thanks for sharing - heard great things about this hypervisor! :)

Some say the Switch as well!

Indeed!

What happened? Sorry to hear it!

@@stephenstechtalks5377 I use the mate desktop environment. I do everything as you have shown. However, after starting Xorg, an error appears.

Mate is a great DE - unfortunately I've not tested it with FreeBSD yet! Have you tried XFCE as in this video?

@@stephenstechtalks5377 I haven't tried it yet. I think, according to your video, try to do it the way you have.

Good luck! :)

:)

@@stephenstechtalks5377 How you clear the CLI ? I know command 'clear' but you dont use it

I have a habit of using the ctrl-l key combo to clear - sorry I should have mentioned it in the video, keep forgetting lol...

IKR? :)
