It's actually quite good if you require or like to have full desktop experience of the OS in VM. I'm usually running Xfce4 desktop inside VM and it's working very well.

After setting up the VM, you could ssh(1) in with the -X or -Y option to enable X11 forwarding. See http://man.openbsd.org/ssh#X Then running a program that speaks X will work. At least, it does for me (but then I run only OpenBSD vm's under OpenBSD). Make sure to configure sshd in your VM to allow for forwarded X11. See the section X11Forwarding in sshd_config(5) over at http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config#X11Forwarding Cheers, Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd -- >[<++>-]<+++.>+++[<-->-]<.>+++[<+ +++>-]<.>++[<>-]<+.--.[-] http://www.weirdnet.nl/
Reading suggestions for running graphical X based Linux applications on OpenBSD using a Virtual Machine?
This should be possible, correct? I understand that vmd does not currently support VGA output inside the VM but but I should be able to run a headless Linux instance in a VM image hosted on OpenBSD vmm and then pipe the graphical output over the virtual network interface to a display on the OpenBSD host system. For example if I want to run the Linux version of Mathematica this way that should be possible, correct? Does anybody know of a configuration tutorial in this area? Thanks...
