Hi all, I'm the one working on this patch! What happened is, I first always try to bring the changes first on FreeBSD[1] and then to FreeNAS/TrueNAS/TrueOS, but after waiting for a while for reviews and etc on FreeBSD; I could not do the same on FreeNAS/TrueNAS side, lots of people opened tickets and I needed to handle it properly, so yes, unfortunately there is this patch on FreeNAS/TrueNAS/TrueOS and not yet on FreeBSD. There are few things that need to be fixed to let us include this patch officially on bhyve, but I spent lots of time to create libhyve-remote + bhyve patch + tests with different OSS; that I'm afraid I can't spend again any more time on it. I'm a bit overloaded with work, but I will try. What you can do for now is: Install devel/libhyve-remote and choose BHYVE at port configuration (you can do make config inside the port) it will apply the patch that is under review[1] and will rebuild your bhyve. To use bhyve with libvncserver you just need to add vncserver at the same line of fbuf, such like: -s 2,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5937,w=800,h=600,password=1234567,*vncserver*,wait Any doubt or suggestion, just ping me back! And sorry for the confusion about this topic. [1] https://reviews.freebsd.org/D11768 2017-11-05 4:53 GMT+08:00 Farid Joubbi <djfarid@gmail.com>: > Thanks for the reply! > > I'm running 11.1 Release.
