https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192456 Bug ID: 192456 Summary: vt vt_vga graphical console very slow in XenServer, VirtualBox Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mcdouga9@egr.msu.edu I tried booting with kern.vty=vt on Xen and VirtualBox to see what happens. XenServer console is extremely slow, about 4-5 seconds to redraw the whole screen each time a new line is printed, booting takes several minutes. VirtualBox is slow, but not as bad, takes approx 1 second to redraw screen (tolerable but not ideal). I tried FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT-amd64-20140804-r269497-disc1.iso as well as snapshot isos of 10 and 11 from about a month ago (I didn't specifically check age). Setting hw.vga.textmode=1 restores normal speed like syscons. Would it be a good idea to make the kernel default to textmode if kern.vm_guest isn't "none"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
