Solved FreeBSD 13.2 aarch64 UTM_VM Gnome don't run

[fredat]

I installed FreeBSD 13.2 aarch64 in an UTM (QEMU) VM, M1 Mac.
Gnome don't start, I get an error or only a single user prompt without password.

Installed pkg: gnome-desktop gnome-shell gnome-shell-extensions gnome-menus gdm xorg

/etc/rc.conf

hostname="firebird"
keymap="de.kbd"
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
ifconfig_em0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
sshd_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
#
#
gnome_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"

I had installed a similar FreeBSD under VMware Fusion on the same Mac, this works well
I use UTM 4.2.5 (and not the v4.3.3. beta)

What are wrong, what could I do to resolve this?

Here hangs this

Without Gnome configuration:

Partly solved, that was missing
GNOME requires /proc to be mounted. Add this line to /etc/fstab to mount this file system automatically during system startup:

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#

proc                    /proc           procfs  rw              0       0

I could login me in GNOME now, but mouse don't work. But which graphic card and driver I should use for UTM/QEMU?
UTM use: virtio-ramfb

5.3. Graphic card drivers

I could only append Xorg.0.log as screenshots

Change console
note for mac users - on Mac & UTM change console: [fn] [ctrl] [option] [F1] (or F2, F3...)

psm0 doesn't exist, only -->

Oh my, screenshots of text.

First one clearly says you have syntax error in rc.conf.

Oh my, screenshots of text.

In this case, the only way to get it! I don't know another simple way - it's a virtual machine!

First one clearly says you have syntax error in rc.conf.

In which line? Which syntax are wrong? I am not a FreeBSD “Guru“

Here the /etc/rc.conf from the FreeBSD VM running in VMware Fusion - and that works well -->

I don't know another simple way - it's a virtual machine!

Configure networking, ssh into it, get the relevant text data

In which line? Which syntax are wrong? I am not a FreeBSD “Guru“

You don't have to be a guru when reading the text, it's all there:

With this rc.conf there ist no Syntax error but mouse don't work.
hostname="voyager" keymap="de.kbd" ifconfig_vtnet0="DHCP" ifconfig_vtnet0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" sshd_enable="YES" moused_enable="YES" ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpd_enable="YES" powerd_enable="YES" # Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable dumpdev="AUTO" # # up default conf # gnome_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" gdm_enable="YES" # # mouse # moused_enable="YES" moused_type="YES" #

Is the entry moused_port="......" missing? - but what would I have to enter there?

Off topic:
Of course I know about ssh, but I rarely use it, so I didn't immediately think of it.
Past last time ago the GUI crashed on the MacBook and I shut down the notebook via SSH.
Fortunately, I created a "normal user" with SUDO rights in the FreeBSD VM, because root cannot log in via SSH by default.

What is still strange, I have installed VMware Fusion as well as UTM (QEMU) on the M1 MacMini (also the current beta v4.3.3 of UTM)
Both VM lines also have Fedora Linux aarch64 and Debian Linux aarch64 installed. Where no problems with keyboard and mouse.
Also FreeBSD (with Gnome) aarch64 runs fine on VMware Fusion. I wanted to convert the FreeBSD image from VMware Fusion to UTM (I installed QEMU on the Mac via Homebrew because of Toosl) but this converted image couldn't boot, so I decided to install FreeBSD on UTM right away.

This is for VMware, but I test this too, but don't work
FreeBSD 13.1 and mouse support

Re: FreeBSD 13.1 and mouse support

oh, at the moment freebsd (efifb) uses the resolution specified by the EFI environment. Try adding to your "/boot/loader.conf": efi_max_resolution="1920x1200" But not every resolution is available.

You can try to load the USB mouse driver in "/boot/loader.conf":
ums_load="YES"
