This will generate a new file called xorg.conf.new, which you can, if it runs successfully for your hardware, copy to /etc/X11 to make it permanently available for all users on the machine. With regards to your mouse issues--I have been running FreeBSD 10 in a VM on Mac OS X for a while, and I had to install dbus and hal in order for it to work. Are those services installed and running? Please check that you have dbus_enble="YES" and hald_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. > > > On Sat, Jun 14, 2014 at 7:07 PM, Warren Block <wblock@wonkity.com> wrote: > > > On Sat, 14 Jun 2014, Chris Maness wrote: > > > > > >> I am running Vbox on my Mac running 10.9, and FreeBSD is running fine > > >> except the mouse does not work.
