Has anyone got X11 working well with FreeBSD running under VirtualBox?
If so, could you send me your /etc/X11/XF86Config file?
I'm running FreeBSD 5.2. The reason for the old version is that it's
the version discussed in The Design and Implemention of the FreeBSD
Operating System. I wanted to be able to look at the same version of
the kernel source as the book describes.
I *think* VirtualBox only emulates a VESA 2 standard video card, but I'm
not sure. If it emulates a card for which FreeBSD's X11 has a driver,
I'd like to know what it is.
What happens when I try to start X is that I get a very low-resolution
screen, and I can't move the X mouse. I tried the graphical X11 config
program when I installed, and the mouse wouldn't move there either.
I'm using VirtualBox 2.2.4 under Fedora 10 Linux.
Thanks!
Mike
