I did that. With "-vga cirrus" I get a framebuffer X display in the Gentoo guest, which looks half-decent. xrandr reports...

I filed bug report... https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569082 ...asking for it to be documented. "emerge -pv xorg-drivers" doesn't show it, and there's nothing in /usr/portage/profiles/*.desc File-attached is the X log. It complains about not finding the cirrus driver. But when I emerged xf86-video-cirrus, the log complained that the cirrus driver couldn't be loaded because it conflicted with a "kernel module" (actually built in). With "-vga std" X doesn't start up at all. Any suggestions for improvement? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
