Support X.org 1.9.0 -> fixed post-3.2.8

[İsmail Dönmez]

Ubuntu 10.10 (pre-beta now) switched to X.org 1.9.0 RC 5, it would be nice if Virtualbox drivers are updated to support it.

[adept]

X.org 1.9.0 is finally released. Please, update guest additions :)

[3vi1]

Yes please! This is basically the only issue I have with VBox at the moment.

Please! I want to test Ubuntu 10.10 alphas and betas in a virtual environment.

[Michael Thayer]

Done.

[İsmail Dönmez]

Any chance of getting updated additions iso file?

however after a reboot of the VM it appears to be working correctly.

That will be fixed in the final 3.2.10 release.

Well, I still got a few problems when using VBoxGuestAdditions_3.2.9-66155.iso in Arch Linux. The following error says failed to load kernel module "vboxvideo".

[    46.910] [drm] failed to load kernel module "vboxvideo"
[    46.910] (EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
[    46.910] (EE) VBoxVideo(0): DRIScreenInit failed, disabling DRI.

However, in the previous output, I can see the vboxvideo module has already been loaded.

[    46.249] (II) LoadModule: "vboxvideo"
[    46.250] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so

[    46.266] 	Module class: X.Org Video Driver

[    46.266] (**) Load address of symbol "VBOXVIDEO" is 0xb74b7060

I can still startx, but when I drag the window around, I can see the window flickering.

I take it from the log snippet you posted that that is a 32bit guest.

Yes, I am using a 32bit guest,doesn't guest additions support 32 bit guest?

[Michael Thayer]

cakebunny: could you please create a new ticket for your issue? I would do it myself, but I can't automatically subscribe you.

[jlac10]

same problem here (cakebunny)v3.2.10. please help.

[Frank Mehnert]

I assume this is a duplicate of #7572. So either install (if possible) DKMS in your guest and do /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup or change the Makefile as proposed in #7572 and do /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup.
