The FreeBSD guest window is always stuck with > 800x600 pixels :-( Oh, I ignored the fact you're using UEFI in VBox. Until a proper KMS driver exists you and I are out of luck. I always use BIOS firmware for my VBox guests using X11. :-( All my UEFI VMs run as console-only. Running them in fullscreen at 1280x1024 gives me some comfort. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Wed Sep 21 15:51:03 2016 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ACBA9BE40DE for <freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Wed, 21 Sep 2016 15:51:03 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ml@netfence.it) Received: from smtp205.alice.it (smtp205.alice.it [82.57.200.101]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3E47AE4B for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Wed, 21 Sep 2016 15:51:02 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from ml@netfence.it) Received: from soth.ventu (62.211.162.64) by smtp205.alice.it (8.6.060.28) (authenticated as acanedi@alice.it) id 57D7C4E801F3E0CB for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Wed, 21 Sep 2016 17:50:55 +0200 Received: from alamar.ventu (alamar.local.netfence.it [10.1.2.18]) by soth.ventu (8.15.2/8.15.2) with ESMTP id u8LForoT054508 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Wed, 21 Sep 2016 17:50:54 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from ml@netfence.it) X-Authentication-Warning: soth.ventu: Host alamar.local.netfence.it [10.1.2.18] claimed to be alamar.ventu To: "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> From: Andrea Venturoli <ml@netfence.it> Subject: OpenGL over X11/SSH Message-ID: <2deff892-7ac3-e3e2-92fe-27e95f089ea0@netfence.it> Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 17:50:53 +0200 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD i386; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/45.3.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.23 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 15:51:03 -0000 Hello. I apoligize if this is a FAQ, but I could not find any useful pointer. I'm used to connecting via ssh to a couple of "heavy duty" servers on my LAN; I've got X11 forward working and in fact I usually run emacs, xterm, sometimes even FireFox. Now I need to try an OpenGL-based program, but I'm not able to get it right. > % glxinfo > name of display: localhost:11.0 > libGL error: failed to open drm device: No such file or directory > libGL error: failed to load driver: r600 > libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so > libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast > X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext > Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) > Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (X_GLXIsDirect) > Serial number of failed request: 46 > Current serial number in output stream: 45 AFAICT this should work, albeit without hardware acceleration, which is fine to me since this is only going to be a test. Any help? bye & Thanks av.
