Hello Corvin and all on this thread,

Last time I've searched for docs and manuals on how to properly setup
graphics passtru in bhyve, documentation was very fragmented.

Is there a a wiki page or a place where docs are placed so we can access?
If not, we could start a new thread on virtualization@ to start gathering
all we can get, so a wiki or a complete manual could be made and
incorporated in our handbook.

Thanks all!
