My host is Win10 PRO 64Bit, Unfortunately I couldn't find any meaningful lo=
gs
for troubleshooting it: the screen goes black and it looks like nothing is
recorded anywhere therefore I was only able to reproduce the bug:

1. Download
https://download.freebsd.org/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/13.1/FreeBSD-1=
3.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso.xz
2. Extract
3. Create a new virtual machine (FreeBSD 64Bit): PAE/NX & Nested VT-x/AMD-V
enabled; Paravirtualization interface: default; nested paging enabled.
4. Installation from ISO: basic installation, with clear ZFS filesystem, 64=
GB
(dynamic) disk, 2GB Ram, 2GB Swap, 64MB Video Mem, 2 vCPU.
5. # pkg upgrade and then pkg install xorg virtualbox-ose-additions
6. Modify RC.CONF: vboxguest_enable=3D"YES" \ vboxservice_enable=3D"YES" \
vboxservice_flags=3D"--disable-timesync"
7. reboot, login, startx =3D works!
8. Modifiy repo into latest as described here:
https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#quarterly-latest-branch
9. # pkg upgrade: it will update among the others xorg and
virtualbox-ose-addition.
10: reboot; loging; startx: black screen.

For any additional request please  do not hesitate to ask!

Thanks,

Freezr (ex Gnuserland)
