Hello to everyone.
I would like to virtualize FreeBSD on Windows 11 with qemu-kvm (for Windows).
I've end up with the following parameters which are working :
|I:\OS\qemu\Linux\qemu\qemu-system-x86_64w.exe -accel whpx -machine q35 \ -cpu
Westmere,vendor=GenuineIntel,+pcid,+ssse3,+sse4.2,+popcnt,+avx,+aes,+xsave,+xsaveopt,check \ -m 8G -vga qxl

Now I'm trying to configure Xorg and the xfce4 desktop environment. Since I'm
using qemu,there are a lot of display devices available to try,but I don't know
which one is good for FreeBSD. In the website below there is a good list of all
options available :

<https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/09/display-devices-in-qemu/>
On FreeBSD I have installed the package drm-kmod and it suggests to me to add
to the rc.conf file one of these parameters :
1.
for amdgpu : kld_list="amdgpu"
2.
for intel : kld_list="i915kms"
3.
for radeonkms : kld_list="radeonkms"
qemu does not cover any of those. I don't know which option is decent for my
case. I would like to try with the cirrus display driver. Maybe this one :
https://www.freshports.org/x11-drivers/xf86-video-cirrus/
<https://www.freshports.org/x11-drivers/xf86-video-cirrus/>
|So,I have installed this package : pkg install xf86-video-cirrus
|
I've rebooted and I have changed |-vga qxl to -vga cirrus|
FreeBSD recognized it at 0:1:0

I have created xorg.conf with this content :
|Section "Device" Identifier "Device0" Driver "cirrus" BusID "PCI:0:1:0" Screen
0 EndSection|
error : no screens found.
This is the reason why it does not work :

but the module seems to be there :
|cd /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ ls *cirrus_drv.so* ;
modesetting_drv.so ; scfb_drv.so ; vesa_drv.so ;|
What should I do ?

A https://www.freshports.org/x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl/ driver exists. It
didn't work on my qemu on Mac/ARM. Maybe it works for you.
