If you have, you're out of luck as there is currently no KMS driver for VBox. If you're running the guest with BIOS firmware, you might need to craft your own /etc/x11/xorg.conf file. Here's my xorg.conf file for use on a 1280x1024 display, with mouse support and Norwegian keyboard layout: http://ximalas.info/~trond/create-zfs/canmount/xorg.conf You'll need to add 1440x900 to the graphics resolution lists, and edit, or remove, or deactivate the InputClass and InputDevice for keyboards. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Thu Oct 6 14:06:07 2016 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 03A03AF6081 for <freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 14:06:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from info@investandjoy.ru) Received: from mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (unknown [127.0.1.3]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D845A76C for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 14:06:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from info@investandjoy.ru) Received: by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) id D79FCAF6080; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 14:06:06 +0000 (UTC) Delivered-To: questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D73EAAF607F for <questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 14:06:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from info@investandjoy.ru) Received: from investandjoy.ru (investandjoy.ru [185.154.15.215]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 95C0B76A for <questions@freebsd.org>; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 14:06:06 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from info@investandjoy.ru) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; c=relaxed/relaxed; s=key1; d=investandjoy.ru; h=Message-ID:Date:Subject:From:Reply-To:To:MIME-Version:Content-Type:List-Unsubscribe:List-Id; i=info@investandjoy.ru; bh=Ym6oLomhAEQhp2TR1ONIwHLbvSo=; b=yt6jZnUR93DD+s4eN4lh6VBkD6VKPlVQp8SGG0/0DB7vLwuAfa0pk8GSo6sLjv3x6DN9ctRBjZTl tbexoyvohSkWMvRsUaal8V0BKwbEiF+54stxtBsuBBpJcy2BbEeNoV0HqnxphiA9bvjwFnqd850K uxZdDxulWoghylm9Qv0= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; q=dns; s=key1; d=investandjoy.ru; b=gPvJiYG66T5fwhs33RH75Wpkwh7AecPHBX0ilZ+o83B9NaobfntF7cKTT3dXBKLoqj7EL/VOa0jm QCk4/3eJL+CFrSryxbfU/Hvaklx4FyaLoK9bhNuMBdpmMGDWDW9mpb5XLyxBazsScLw3zZ1Ncnph FJNOo8G7wNFtEQq4PXY=; Message-ID: <ac029a5b1730762c8dc9a26e8b2c3a9c@investandjoy.ru> Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:06:05 +0000 Subject: =?utf-8?Q?=D0=97=D0=B4=D1=80=D0=B0=D0=B2=D1=81=D1=82=D0=B2?= =?utf-8?Q?=D1=83=D0=B9=D1=82=D0=B5?= From: =?utf-8?Q?=D0=90=D0=BB=D0=B5=D0=BA=D1=81=D0=B0=D0=BD=D0=B4=D1=80?= <info@investandjoy.ru> Reply-To: =?utf-8?Q?=D0=90=D0=BB=D0=B5=D0=BA=D1=81=D0=B0=D0=BD=D0=B4?= =?utf-8?Q?=D1=80?= <info@investandjoy.ru> To: "questions@freebsd.org" <questions@freebsd.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: info@investandjoy.ru X-Report-Abuse: Please report abuse for this campaign here: http://mail.realty-invest34.ru/campaigns/jt440y5nh404c/report-abuse/ga097vzyelde6/kc074mv3btc89 X-Receiver: questions@freebsd.org X-Mw-Tracking-Did: 0 X-Mw-Subscriber-Uid: kc074mv3btc89 X-Mw-Mailer: SwiftMailer - @SWIFT_VERSION_NUMBER@ X-Mw-Delivery-Sid: 8 X-Mw-Customer-Uid: wy809kkcowc65 X-Mw-Customer-Gid: 1 X-Mw-Campaign-Uid: jt440y5nh404c Precedence: bulk Feedback-ID: jt440y5nh404c:kc074mv3btc89:ga097vzyelde6:wy809kkcowc65 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.23 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.23 List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:06:07 -0000 =20 12=20 : : http://aulisa.ml=20 isirenev@inbox.ru=20 =D0=9E=D1=82=D0=BF=D0=B8=D1=81=D0=B0=D1=82=D1=8C=D1=81=D1=8F =D0=BE=D1=82= =D1=80=D0=B0=D1=81=D1=81=D1=8B=D0=BB=D0=BA=D0=B8 http://mail.realty-invest34.ru/lists/ga097vzyelde6/unsubscribe/kc074mv3btc= 89/jt440y5nh404c =D0=B8=D0=BB=D0=B8 =D0=BF=D0=BE=D0=B6=D0=B0=D0=BB=D0=BE=D0=B2= =D0=B0=D1=82=D1=8C=D1=81=D1=8F http://mail.realty-invest34.ru/campaigns/jt440y5nh404c/report-abuse/ga097v= zyelde6/kc074mv3btc89
