It's possible that you do have a bhyve system with graphics support. Unfort=
unately vm-bhyve isn't aimed at users who have manually merged changes, and=
 will blindly tell anyone that isn't running 11+ that they don't have graph=
ics support.=20

You have a couple of options -

1) Run bhyve manually rather than using vm-bhyve
2) Upgrade to the 11 beta
3) Modify vm-bhyve to not automatically skip graphics support if the versio=
n is less than 11=20
