Hello my friend Odhiambo,

you can try to pa= ss your keyboard and mouse to a specific USB to pci adapter,using an USB sp= litter to attach both the input devices. Actually I'm using the one int= egrated on my nvidia gpu,RTX 2080 ti,that's :

<= div>02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 [GeForce RT= X 2080 Ti]
02:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 High Definitio= n Audio Controller
02:00.2 USB controller: NVIDIA Corporation TU102 U= SB 3.1 Host Controller
02:00.3 Serial bus controller: NVIDIA Corpora= tion TU102 USB Type-C UCSI Controller

For sur= e you will add the PCI address of the board between your bhyve parameters,f= or example in my case :

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

A single hardware solution w= ould be a pcie riser which 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.=

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?
