You must have created a virtual machine using the default settings for a FreeBSD machine.

Try this... when creating a new GhostBSD host, choose that you are creating a "Windows 7 - 64bit machine"... and everything will work.

The reason is the weird default hardware VirtualBox assigns to a FreeBSD machine... has to do with the MouseType, Video Card type/memory, Controllers, etc.

Everything works fine for me.

Unlikely, but thanks.

That's strange. I just installed in VirtualBox a couple of times over the last few days and everything has worked perfectly. The two exceptions were changing the VBox graphics controller to "VBoxSVGA" and fixing my mouse with xmodmap.

I used the United States mirror - Maybe the iso was different or something? You did create a user during the install?

The issue in April 2021 (and earlier) was prior to installation.
