Thanks, Steve.

Hi all, I've been using Windows since the mid-1990's and I've never really been satisfied. I've also tried Linux and FreeBSD many times over the years, but there were always lack-of-software issues to bring me back to Windows. But now that the software available on Linux and the BSD's is catching up...

To those who responded:
I apologize for taking so long to get back here. This pandemic is kicking my ###, but that's really no excuse, I suppose.
I'm actually thinking of taking a different tack on this whole thing, but I'll start a new thread to talk about it.

… anything other than the default Graphics Controller (VMSVGA) I get an error at the bottom of the Settings dialog: … If emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions is installed: ignore the yellow alert in settings do not enable 3D acceleration. Please see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2...

Are you booting the guest live from the ISO? Or booting an installation of GhostBSD? This is an installation of GhostBSD within a VirtualBox environment. What operating system is the host? Windows 10 If the host is FreeBSD: which version of VirtualBox? I'll answer anyway, even though it's Windows: ...

According to a person on the VB forum: The current VMSVGA (Linux guests) and VBoxSVGA (Windows guests) came out with VirtualBox 6.0, so using either of these is not supported with VirtualBox Guest Additions < 6.0. So that answers my last question. I'm wasting far too much time on this, so if I can't...

Did you try http://download.us.ghostbsd.org/releases/amd64/latest/ we fixed a couple of problems with VirtualBox? Alas. No change. Which Graphics Controller should I be using in Settings > Display? Not that I haven't tried them all, but nailing this down will at least reduce the variables I'm juggl...

Nope. I missed that. I'll check it out.
Thanks!

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting GhostBSD's guest window to reboot into a set resolution (1400x1050). Each time I reboot, it reverts to 800x600. Here's the situation: Host system: Windows 10 Guest: GhostBSD with VB settings: 4096 mb base RAM 128 mb video RAM Graphics Controller: VBoxSVGA (this act...

This resolution issue seems simply down to settings for the VirtualBox machine; bumping video memory up to 128MB and the Graphic Controller to VboxVGA got the available resolution choice up to much higher and useful values. I don't know where these VB defaults for the machine come from but they are...
