Porting X11Libre to FreeBSD.

[DanielBowman]

I have been working on the issue.

The problem is that the virtualbox-ose-additions-72 port had went completely over my radar when first porting XLibre. (I have rarely used VBox. BHyve has been sufficient for me)

This port provides 2 drivers for the X server and they are compiled against the X.Org X server instead of XLibre, this causes it to have the X.Org SDK's ABI number and not load on XLIbre.

I'm currently working on the port and trying to add a XLibre flavor to it. I have actually managed to add the XLibre flavor, but the port refuses to build when put in a overlay (but works fine in the main ports tree), it is a weird bug and the port uses a wierd build system. TLDR is that I haven't managed to make the port behave yet. (Help is appreiated from anyone who knows "kBuild")

Till that is fixed there are two options for making XLibre work in VBox:

A. Use the SCFB video deriver and the libinput input driver instead of the VBox drivers.
B. Make XLibre ignore driver ABIs by adding a file containing this to your X configuration directory:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "IgnoreABI" "True"
EndSection

Thanks a lot. It is working.
Mine had zero EErors. Mouse and Keyboard works. Will try Openbox - some problems with keyboard but it is most likely my screwup somewhere in config of the DE.[edit] it was my error (VirtualBox needs to be USB 3) - OpenBox works fine.
My setup for anyone interested in running XLibre on FreeBSD 15 in VirtualBox (Win11).
