Hello. I've virtualized FreeBSD 14 on Windows 11 with qemu using the Hyper-V as a hypervisor. The parameters that I've used to launch the vm are the following ones : qemu-system-x86_64w.exe -accel whpx -machine q35 \ -cpu kvm64,hv_relaxed,hv_time,hv_synic -m 8G -vga virtio \ -display gtk,gl=on -audiodev dsound,id=snd0 -device ich9-intel-hda \ -device hda-duplex,audiodev=snd0 \ -hda "I:\Backup\FreeBSD\FreeBSD-140-zfs.img" \ -drive file=\\.\PhysicalDrive8 -rtc base=localtime \ -device usb-ehci,id=usb,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x3 -device usb-tablet \ -device usb-kbd -smbios type=2 -nodefaults \ -netdev tap,id=mynet0,ifname="OpenVPN-TAP-Windows",script=no,downscript=no \ -device e1000,netdev=mynet0,mac=52:55:00:d1:55:01 \ -device ich9-ahci,id=sata \ -bios "I:\OS\qemu\FreeBSD\OSX-KVM-master\OVMF_combined.fd" as you can see as graphic adapter I've added : -vga virtio -display gtk,gl=on That's because I want to use the virtio GPU instead of the VMware SVGA,but I'm not able to make it work. On FreeBSD 14.0 guest os I did : # lspci 00:01.0 : VGA compatible controller : Red Hat Inc. Virtio 1.0 GPU (rev. 01) and then,I've added on /boot/loader.conf the following kernel modules : virtio_load="YES" virtio_pci_load="YES" virtio_blk_load="YES" virtio_balloon_load="YES" I tried to load the virtio kernel modules manually : [root@marietto /home/marietto]==> kldload virtio kldload: can't load virtio: module already loaded or in kernel [root@marietto /home/marietto]==> kldload virtio_pci kldload: can't load virtio_pci: module already loaded or in kernel [root@marietto /home/marietto]==> kldload virtio_blk kldload: can't load virtio_blk: module already loaded or in kernel [root@marietto /home/marietto]==> kldload virtio_balloon kldload: can't load virtio_balloon: module already loaded or in kernel At this point,I've tried to use two different xorg.conf files to see what happened : nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf : Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "modesetting" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" Xorg.1.log.modesetting : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/JYbks5yNnV/ nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf : Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "virtio" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" Xorg.1.log.virtio : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/tt9Pnd5Zz4/ None of them worked. Can you give some suggestions ? FULL thread : https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-virtualize-freebsd-14-release-as-a-vm-on-top-of-windows-11-using-qemu-hyperv.93158/#post-652770 Mario.
