Actually, I am trying to figure out why they do not w= ork after upgrade from FreeBSD 13 to 14. They used to work before.
History:

3. I use V= NC Viewer to connect to the VMs like HOST_IP:PORT

Hello my friend = Odhiambo,

you can try to pass your keyboard and mo= use to a specific USB to pci adapter,using an USB splitter to attach both t= he input devices. Actually I'm using the one integrated on my nvidia gp= u,RTX 2080 ti,that's :

02:00.0 VGA compati= ble controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 [GeForce RTX 2080 Ti]
02:00.1 A= udio device: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 High Definition Audio Controller
<= b>02:00.2 USB controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 USB 3.1 Host Controller<= /b>
02:00.3 Serial bus controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 USB Type-C U= CSI Controller

For sure you will add the PCI = address of the board between your bhyve parameters,for example in my case :=

-s 8:2,passthru,2/0/2 \

A single hardware solution would be a pcie riser wh= ich splits the pcie port.


I've asked for a = good USB controller some time ago :


https://forum= s.freebsd.org/threads/im-looking-for-a-good-usb-controller-3-0-4-ports-self= -powered-compatible-with-freebsd.83323/


If it=E2=80=99s only mouse and keyboard you could us= e bhyves virtio-input emulation.


Corvin included virtio-input support in his github.<= /p>


He committed virtio-input to 13.2 and 14.0 upstream.=

Hellos,

When I was still on FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE I was= able to access some Linux VMs GUI using=C2=A0VNC Viewer on my Windows PC.<= /div>
After I upgraded to 14-RELEASE, this changed: I can connect to th= e VMs, but the GUI desktop is frozen. The mouse cursor isn't moving at = all and the Desktop doesn't load like before.
I start all my = VMs the same way:

I would then conn= ect to a.b.c.d:59xx using VNC Viewer and I'd get the Linux/Windows Desk= top.
Not anymore!

Is there somet= hing I need to do to fix the=C2=A0issue?
