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 been trying to get *something* running! i am using the latest versions of all softwares, and use intel graphics.
whenever i boot into my virt machine, i type
XORG
i've been following the freebsd documentation and also a youtube tutorial (here

you can read more about my struggle with xorg on this thread here https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...ound-trouble-starting-xorg.96512/#post-687315 , where I just get a "serverauth x not found error" every time i try to start xorg, no matter how many things i tweak and edit, or things i download.

however, whenever i do
I'm not sure what this means, or what to do about these issues , im very new to freebsd. the first workarounds i tried to do were reconfiguring the wayfire.ini file, and also switching my graphics display server to see if it had something to do with the "0 gpus found" error, but that didnt do anything. i really appreciate any help i can get, thank you!
