The Valuable News weekly series is dedicated to provide summary about news, articles and other interesting stuff mostly but not always related to the UNIX or BSD systems. Whenever I stumble upon something worth mentioning on the Internet I just put it here.
Today the amount information that we get using various information streams is at massive overload. Thus one needs to focus only on what is important without the need to grep(1) the Internet everyday. Hence the idea of providing such information ‘bulk’ as I already do that grep(1).

Witaj, zainstalowaΕem FreeBSD 12.1 na VirtualBox i nie mogΔ uzyskaΔ wiΔkszej rozdzielczoΕci niΕΌ 1024×768. DodaΕem odpowiednie wpisy vbox do pliku /etc/rc.conf i do plikΓ³w .xinitrc i /boot/loader.conf nic nie pomogΕo. Czy trzeba zrobiΔ Xorg -Configure i tam wpisaΔ w /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Czesc,
napewno trzeba zainstalowac virtualbox-ose-additions:
Potem musisz zrobic plik /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/card.conf o takiej zawartosci:
… i dodaj ponizsze na poczatku ~/.xinitrc to ponizsze:
… i powinno dzialac.
Jakby co pisz jakby nie dzialalo to bedziemy ogarniac.
Pozdrowienia.

Na koncu powinno byc ‘fi’ bo zaczyna sie od ‘if’ a konczy na ‘fi’ – taka skladnie wymyslili π
Co nie uruchamiania sie to pokaz jeszcze caly config X11 jaki Ci sie wygenerowal.
Pokaz tez plik /var/log/Xorg.0.log to moze cos namierzymy.

Wiesz co, chyba nie ma sensu tego dalej naprawiaΔ pod VirtualBox. Prawdopodobnie na fizycznym sprzΔcie by takie problemy nie wystΔ piΕy. Dopiero jak kupiΔ innego laptopa, to zainstaluje na czysto na nim FreeBSD jeΕΌeli siΔ da. Pozdrawiam.
