Hellos,

When I was still on FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE I was able to access some Linux
VMs GUI using VNC Viewer on my Windows PC.
After I upgraded to 14-RELEASE, this changed: I can connect to the VMs, but
the GUI desktop is frozen. The mouse cursor isn't moving at all and the
Desktop doesn't load like before.
I start all my VMs the same way:

bhyve -c N -m NG -w -H \
-s 0,hostbridge \
-s 4,virtio-blk,/usr/local/bhyve-vms/DISTRONAME/distroname.img \
-s 5,virtio-net,tapN \
-s 8,hda,play=3D/dev/dsp,rec=3D/dev/dsp \
-s 29,fbuf,tcp=3D0.0.0.0:59XX,w=3D1680,h=3D1050 \
-s 30,xhci,tablet \
-s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio \
-l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
distroname

I would then connect to a.b.c.d:59xx using VNC Viewer and I'd get the
Linux/Windows Desktop.
Not anymore!

Is there something I need to do to fix the issue?
