===== Recommended Settings and Tips =====

==== Starting VirtualBox Services ====

To start services after VirtualBox Guest Additions installation, either:

  * Restart %%FreeBSD%%, OR
  * As root: ''%%service vboxservice start%%'' and ''%%service vboxguest start%%''

If guest additions will be installed: set the guest to use %%VBoxSVGA%%.

For automatic configuration of X.org:

''%%Xorg -configure%%''

– then, to tell whether the video driver was automatically recognised:

''%%grep vboxvideo /root/xorg.conf.new%%''

With a good X.org configuration file in place and in use: the View menu of VirtualBox can be used for automatic resizing. With that option enabled, a change to the size of the VirtualBox window should cause a change to the size of the display in the %%FreeBSD%% guest.
