Hi, > I can run apps like, firefox, xterm, etc, but not a desktop. > > my idea was to use bhyve as a remote workstation and be available to > export the full environments (kde/xfce etc) I admit I've not tried this with a FreeBSD guest, but with an Ubuntu guest I was able to start KDE and send the display to a mac running X11. I also tried Xvnc on the Linux guest - this worked, but was a lot slower than remote X. > how much helps adding a graphic card to the server and “share it” > among the instances ? I'm not sure how that would work. It may be possible to use pass-thru for a graphics card to a single guest, but I don't think even that would work as expected due to the fixed <1MB VGA address space that can't be shared amongst guests/the host card. > can it be emulated ? There will be VGA emulation in bhyve at some point - don't know exactly then that will be. later, Peter.
