Plasma Desktop on Hyper-V

A

ArtVC

Hello.
I'm trying to get FreeBSD on virtual machine with modern Desltop GUI. I'm trying using Hyper-V instead of VirtualBox because of after update FreeBSD from 12.0 up to 12.1 the mouseclicks doesn't work anymore even with VB guest additions.

I've install FreeBSD 12.0 on Hyper-V and upgrade it up to 12.1. For this i used https://williamjnelson.me/technology/freebsd/install-freebsd-on-hyper-v-2012-r2
And alse I'm trying to reproduce steps from post in this forum without VirtualBox part: https://www.cyberforum.ru/post13830558.html
For VirtualBox it working great and Plasma Desktop running fine.

My host: Windows 10 Pro Version 2004 build 19041.208

When i try to test something installed, i'm getting:
Code: 
$ startkde
-sh: startkde: not found
Code: 
$ xorg
-sh: xorg: not found

But when i trying to insall again Xorg, for example:
Code: 
# pkg install xorg
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
The most recent versions of packages are already installed

So, nothing happening when system has booted and i don't see any errors on my screen. And also i guess that there could be a video driver issue in Hyper-V - maybe need to install some driver, but i didn't find anything in Google and DuckDuckGo about it.
Please, help me to find a way to solve this.

Now in Hyper-V and FreeBSD i have:

Code: 
# freebsd-version
12.1-RELEASE-p4

Code: 
$ more /root/.xinitrc

Concerning VirtualBox, enable moused in /etc/rc.conf and/or set kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6 in /etc/sysctl.conf.

This problem is widely documented in this forum. Make a search if you want to know more.

And there is no xorg command. It's startx.

Thank you very much! That worked:

sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6

Also i didn't say that i tried set moused_enable="YES", but the system get working veeeeryyy slowed down - maybe because of 2 instance of demon was start working with mouse - my CPUU was loadede at 100%. But yes, click did work too :)
I seen that people write in the forums that VirtualBox Guest Aditions starting moused by self.

Hyper-V
And looks like i need Nvidia driver to start X, because
startx
show me some errors and there is
(EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
I guess, it could take a couple of days until I will install video driver XD
 
The "Howto" section is not for asking how to do things. Thread moved.
 
Has anyone got FreeBSD 13.1 running under Hyper-V? My problem seems to be getting a workable xorg.conf, or rather xorg.conf.d. Would anyone please post a working xorg.conf for a current release of FreeBSD running under hyper-v, or point me to bettern documentation than I have found so far?
