Ethernet connection and monitor resolution in DesktopBSD
I'm trying out DesktopBSD in VirtualBox. I like it better than PC-BSD and GhostBSD. However, the Internet connection isn't working out-of-the-box. When I go to the network configuration utility, select the auto DHCP, and click on Connect, nothing happens. I have an Internet connection in my host OS, so no external factors are stopping my Internet connection in DesktopBSD (guest OS). Also, my screen resolution is stuck at 800x600. How do I change it to 1024x768? -- Jason Hsu jhsu802...@jasonhsu.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I have an Internet connection in my host OS, so no external factors are stopping my Internet connection in DesktopBSD (guest OS). You can - for diagnostics - try to launch DHCP from command line. To do so, use # /etc/rc.d/dhclient restart or start, if it's not started yet. You can also use the more bare bones method of the dhclient program. See man dhclient for details. Also, my screen resolution is stuck at 800x600. How do I change it to 1024x768? I'm not sure if DesktopBSD uses an xorg.conf configuration file or if the setting is done using a GUI tool (maybe a tool provided by KDE). Basically the handbook sections about how to configure X should apply.

An acceptable resolution is VESA_800x600 (I do not think that the kernel can do more at the moment?). To enable it you have to recompile your kernel with option SC_PIXEL_MODE enabled (so you can use the raster text mode). Then load the vesa support with kldload vesa and try vidconrtol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600. If it is o.k. for you put in your /etc/rc.conf file: allscreens_flags=-g 100x37 VESA_800x600 and add to /boot/loader.conf: vesa_load=YES to load the vesa module at startup.
