Xorg server error running Arch as guest on FreeNAS11

Hi guys,

I have successfully installed Arch as a guest VM in FreeNAS11, but it fails to start the GUI.
I've installed the xf86-video-fbdev driver and configured the xorg.conf accordingly.
The xorg.conf file is:

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier     "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier   "Device0"
	Option       "UseFBDev"	"true"
	Driver       "fbdev"
#	Driver       "vesa"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier   "Screen0"
	Device       "Card0"
	Monitor      "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth 16
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport  0 0
		Depth     16
	#	Modes     "1024x768_75.00"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

The error in the Xorg log the the following:

Re: Xorg server error running Arch as guest on FreeNAS11

I managed to find an alternative and start the GUI.
The following packages are required to start the GUI:

  • xf86-video-dummy

  • x11vnc

Also lightdm must be used instead of gdm (gdm, after login, failed to display anything)
For X server to properly start the following xorg.conf file was needed:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "dummy_monitor"
        HorizSync 28.0-80.0
        VertRefresh 48.0-75.0
        Modeline "1920x1080" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier "dummy_card"
        VideoRam 256000
        Driver "dummy"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "dummy_screen"
        Device "dummy_card"
        Monitor "dummy_monitor"
        SubSection "Display"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

In the end, start the vnc server with the following command (as root)

x11vnc -noxdamage -display :0 -forever -auth /run/lightdm/root/\:0 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg
