This will work with the normal X server and bhyve's built-in VNC if
you run the guest with UEFI CSM and apply my Video BIOS patch:

However, when I tested it with a GhostBSD 19.04 ISO image, the mouse
didn't work - probably because FreeBSD still didn't support the XHCI
tablet needed for absolute pointer coordinates in bhyve. With a PS/2
mouse you will get two mouse pointers - one each for host and guest.
