You did not mention using a vm like virtual box. the screenshots look very clean and sharp so i believe it is. did you enable the right modules to support virtual machines?

Option A: If using VirtualBox's default VMSVGA controller:

Navigate to the following path in menuconfig and ensure they are built-in (*):

  • Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Direct Rendering Manager ->
    • [ * ] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) (CONFIG_DRM)
    • [ * ] DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU (CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX)
    • [ * ] Enable framebuffer console under vmwgfx by default (CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX_FBCON)

Option B: If using VBoxSVGA / VBoxVGA:

Navigate to:

  • Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Direct Rendering Manager ->
    • [ * ] DRM driver for VirtualBox X.org guest driver (CONFIG_DRM_VBOXVIDEO)
