Hi,
I run FreeBSD as a guest in VirtualBox or even in VMware and I can't obtain the full screen display mode.
Is it a problem with the FreeBSD config or another thing?
Thanks for help.
 
Yes i I have installed virtualbox-ose-additions but i I don't obtain freebsd FreeBSD in full screen mode.
Perhaps there is another thing to do ?

When I installed Virtualbox it was under 10.0. I upgraded to 10.1 and full screen does work. Weeks ago I did a full install of 10.1 but packet-filter did not work anymore, but when I upgraded to 10.1 from 10.0 it did work. Are you running off the disk install of 10.1 … Also I wonder if APIC has anything to do with it. I have it enabled (checked) under the Virtualbox Manager. I also gave the display 128mb of memory, the default is 16mb.
 
I did this back in the 8.2 days and I been including it ever-since. I was just trying to get 1024x768 to work for vesa mode. Maybe it also helped out Virtualbox and I did not realize it. Good to know you can move on.

Code: 
Section "Screen"
        DefaultDepth 24
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Card0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport    0 0
		Depth       24
                Modes       "1280x1024"
	EndSubSection
EndSection
