Hello, I'm trying to setup a FreeBSD desktop as guest in VirtualBox. I have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf, instead I've put the customized configuration in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. There, I've added two files: mouse0.conf that contains the exact same content as described in the handbook (no...

In these days, I installed FreeBSD on a virtual machine(VirtualBox). I tried also to install the graphical interface. But, I can't install the xorg using ports, nor packages. Someone has any tip to do otherwise or knows what's wrong with xorg?

I have done a little bit of searching around on this without luck. I apologize for the weak effort, but I am sick right now and don't feel like doing a lot of reading. Is there a way to enter a virtual console (tty?) while in an X environment? I'm looking for something like "Ctrl+Alt+F1" that...
