mikeyosm Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi Came across this article to get OSX installed as a VM and was interested to read that vmware svga acceleration is possible if installing the kext from darwin.iso https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/blob/master/notes.md It requires the qemu arg -vga but not sure how to apply this in UNRAID. Can someone please help? Thanks. Accelerated Graphics Add -vga vmware to QEMU parameters in the boot script (e.g. boot-macOS.sh), if required. Quote Link to comment

ghost82 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Sorry, but I don't know, I simply translated into code what it's written, which seems correct to me. What are you trying to achieve with it? It doesn't sound to be the correct way to have acceleration in mac os. Edited November 27, 2020 by ghost82 Quote Link to comment

Doesnt look like UNRAID likes it. Quote Link to comment
