Solved Screen resolution on FreeBSD on VirtualBox

[mhmdchebbi]

Hi all

I have FreeBSD 10.3 installed on Virtualbox with Mate.

the screen resolution is 1024X768 and i want to rise it to 1280X720.

i try using vidcontrol -i mode but I get this error.

vidcontrol: getting active vty: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Install the emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions in the VM. I'm not sure if that will provide additional VESA modes, but it does allow any size wanted in X.

Very nice wblock every thing is fine except some error messages do i miss some configurations?
please see the screenshot.

I remember that FreeBSD guests showed some sort of ignorable error, although not exactly which error. But a FreeBSD 10.3-stable VM started just now did not do that. Maybe the latest version of the VirtualBox port fixed that.

OK thank a lot wblock i think i can live with it .

and please tell me how to make the post Resolved.

SemFLY You need to start your own thread and not hijack someone else's.

Ok.
But i think somebody answer here, because already this thread about console under virtual machine and i thought not a good idea to create a new topic ))
if create new thread is more good, all right, create new

SemFLY You would think that but others may look at this as an old, solved thread and ignore it.
