Xorg configuration in VirtualBox
Hi there,
I've installed xorg and kde on 8.2 under VirtualBox. I've enabled hald, dbusd, kdm4 and local_startup in rc.d. Do I need a particular driver for VirtualBox - I know one is required for FreeBSD under VMWare? Also, XOrg -configure fails. It probes a number of vendor drivers then decides "No Devices to Configure" - which is why I ask about the driver. thanks Last edited by maxrussell; 20th June 2011 at 06:38 PM. Reason: more info |

There are virtualbox guest additions (available in ports) that will should you a video driver that works.

Thank you - whereabouts should I be looking in ports? Under X11 or somewhere else?

Under emulators.

I've been looking at the standard setup for KDE4 in the handbook, but it doesn't kick in at all:

Any other reading materials I should be considering? The Handbook is my first port or call obviously, but X is a black art.

I recently found this and all you have to do is replace or put it in /etc/X11 or in local in your case, I'm not sure ... but it made lots of things work for me that I could not get to work before. It made font's bigger, solid and true.
Forget my file... Here's the link I got the instructions from. http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=12664 Last edited by sharris; 20th July 2011 at 05:55 AM. |
