Mac OSX Leopard - Parallels 3.0 & BSD
Need some help, I have a macbook pro with os x leopard I have Parallels 3.0 and was going to start getting in FreeBSD, wondering what recommendations you all may have for someone trying to get his feet wet, I have some experience with *nix but need to open my horizons.
I have FreeBSD 6.3 & FreeBSD 7 1- Which would you recommend on using? 6.3 / 7? 2- After install what window manager would you all recommend? 3- Any thing I should be aware of using Parallels with BSD? I have 7 installed and running with Gnome, but my video res was extremely large and I could not adjust the screen res (probably my lack of *nix knowledge) Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. -3cr0wn |

Here's the information on my video / monitor:
GeForce 8600M GT: Chipset Model: GeForce 8600M GT Type: Display Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0407 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: 3175 Displays: Color LCD: Display Type: LCD Resolution: 1440 x 900 Depth: 32-bit Color Built-In: Yes Core Image: Hardware Accelerated Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Display Connector: Status: No display connected I'm not sure however if the video driver carries over to the guest OS, I have xp-pro running via Parallels, and in the device manager it lists the video adapter as: Parallels Display Adapter So would I need a specific Parallels driver for BSD? Sorry for all the questions this is new turf and a learning experience.

wtf is parales, as far as i know, you sould be ok, with nvidia driver from ports
you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, before you start X make sure you install freebsd i386, there are no (good) video driver on 64bit platform |

Parallels = http://www.parallels.com/
Desktop Virtualization program that allows you to run guest OS's. I did install the i386 version, my current X11 directly does not show any files in it ls returns nothing.

I have tried running through xorgconfig and it errors out, working with the people at parallels to get it resolved, I'll post the results. Unless you have any other things for me to try?
