message: <<EOM
|
||
VirtualBox Guest Additions are installed.
|
||
|
||
To enable and start the required services:
|
||
|
||
# sysrc vboxguest_enable="YES"
|
||
# sysrc vboxservice_enable="YES"
|
||
|
||
To start the services, restart the system.
|
||
|
||
In some situations, a panic will occur when the kernel module loads.
|
||
Having no more than one virtual CPU might mitigate the issue.
|
||
|
||
For features such as window scaling and clipboard sharing, membership of
|
||
the wheel group is required. With username jerry as an example:
|
||
|
||
# pw groupmod wheel -m jerry
|
||
|
||
The settings dialogue for FreeBSD guests encourages use of the VMSVGA
|
||
graphics controller. Whilst this might suit installations of FreeBSD
|
||
without a desktop environment (a common use case), it is not appropriate
|
||
where Guest Additions are installed.
|
||
|
||
Where Guest Additions are installed:
|
||
|
||
1. prefer VBoxSVGA
|
||
|
||
2. do not enable 3D acceleration (doing so will invisibly
|
||
lose the preference for VBoxSVGA)
|
||
|
||
– you may ignore the yellow alert that encourages use of VMSVGA.
