Hello, I'm experimenting with Pi-Gen and it's working great. But having to rewrite the SD card every time after making changes isn't ideal. Does anyone have any experience with qemu and Raspberry Pi images? I've already tried something, but it always ends up in a boot loop. My OS: FreeBSD 15 p1...
I am running FreeBSD 14.3 as a guest using virt-manager, QEMU, KVM on a Linux host (Debian 13). The resolution of the VM guest (i.e. FreeBSD) does not automatically resize itself to the size of the host's VM window. I tried to fix that by installing the x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl package in the...
I've tried FreeBSD on QEMU several times at this point, and in none of them was I ever able to get the graphics to work under my VirtIO VGA/GPU device. I recompiled the kernel (compiled virtio_gpu both as a module and as a built-in) and everything, but no luck. Even checked my QEMU launch script...
Just sharing some first impressions and testing of this work: https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU
As far as I understand, the work is nearing completion and the more people test it, the more chances there are to get it into the upstream.
If my memory...

Can a kind soul please explain the message: vmware gfx protocol is only supported on x86-compatible architectures
I tried to build on FreeBSD 14.3 (32 Bit) guest running in qemu (32 Bit) on a Windows 10 (32 Bit) host which I regard as x86-compatible architecture.
On a qemu-kvm hypervisor with a hyperthreaded CPU, does matching the VM's core/thread CPU topology to the host's CPU core/thread topology then pinning of the thread pairs improve performance?
Basically using sysctl -n kern.sched.topology_spec, I noticed that using host-passthrough caused the...
I've been trying to get a gui running for FreeBSD with QEMU, to no avail. I've asked in the WM forums and the solutions I've been offered from the helpful people there sadly did not work for me, so I'm wondering if it's an issue with QEMU. answers for either X or wayland would be helpful, i've...
I'm trying to install FreeBSD into a VM but it's really small and I can figure out how to change its resolution (I know I can fullscreen it but that won't help). I couldn't find anything in the handbook about this, only Virtual Box and VMWare which I don't use.
This wouldn't normally be a...
Hello all,
I have been trying to get xorg display server to work on my freebsd 14, running on qemu (UTM.app), and with virtio_ramfb display attached to it. No matter what xorg configuration I apply, `xinit` either can not find the display or fails on "AddScreen" (using the scfb driver).
I am...
Hello, I would like to showcase FreeBSD 14.0 aarch64 running on Termux, with XFCE4 too. How did I do this? It is pretty simple. With QEMU, then I start xfce4 session and load QEMU.
Hi there!
I am currently quite confused. I try get up qemu-guest-agent on a fresh installed FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE, but it always fails with the following error message:
error opening channel '/dev/vtcon/org.qemu.guest_agent.0': No such file or directory
I've followed this guide for setting it...

Recently installed FB 13.2 on an Intel Nuc10i5.
Despite all the warnings not to expect UEFI boot to work, I found evidence of some recent work which lead me to expect it to work. It works.
Next, I installed FB 13.2 as a guest, in HVM mode. I am running swaywm in dom0. Love it!
I am now...
