Jailed desktop (full desktop environment inside a FreeBSD jail)

There are USB-VGA adapters available. I am not sure if these items have a separate video card or not.

What I want is:

with XFCE
+ VirtualBox running Linux and Windows.

Essentially:

FreeBSD (bare install) ===running===> Jailed desktop (XFCE) ===running===> VirtualBox ===running===> Windows 7; Ubuntu; OSX

Hi @FreeDomBSD. I'm also interested in doing this. Regarding kernel patches to unrestrict access to /dev/io, I found the following link:

Out of curiosity, did you ever complete your project? What ended up working well for you?

What about something like that:

Code:
FreeBSD HOST -> X11 Jail -> rdesktop -----------------+
FreeBSD HOST -> Headless Virtualbox (Windows) [RDP] <-+
 
I came across this whilst looking for something else, you can run an X11 jail provided you unhide your dri and drm devices. This is my devfs.rules:

[jail_devfs=210]
add path dri* unhide
add path drm* unhide
add path dsp* unhide
add path mixer* unhide
add path speaker* unhide
