Description
The FreeBSD guest additions do not work with the VMSVGA, but they work very well with VBOXSVGA. This is true in all recent versions of VirtualBox I have used.
I would therefore suggest changing the default Graphics Controller to VBOXSVGA when a FreeBSD guest is being created.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Can you provide more detail about the issue with the VMSVGA driver? Is it a regression with some FreeBSD change or was it always this way? Getting it to work (again) would be the much preferred solution because it's the only way we intend to support with full functionality (the alternative would be going for VBoxVGA, but that means no 3D support and other goodies).
Going for VBoxSVGA doesn't really make sense because this variant is specific for Windows VMs, and while it may work with other OSes it isn't something we intend to support.
