Meanwhile I updated VirtualBox to version 1.6.2 from the Build Service. I still get an ABI error if I try to use the xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose-1.6.2-2.1.x86_64.rpm for openSUSE 11.0. Compiling the Guest-Addition from source and enabling it via 'sax2 -m 0=vboxvideo' works perfectly, but provides mouse cursor integration and dynamic screen resolution only for the actual session.

All in all, the initial issue is not fixed so far. Therefore I reopen the bug and change the severity.

Hi Thomas, This is a really simple problem! I'm using the openSUSE Build Service package (release 2.4, using http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUS... as the repository and simply did zypper si virtualbox-ose then rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/packages/SPECS/virtualbox-ose.spec) The RPM spec is broken. Regardless of which server version is installed, vboxvideo_drv_71.so is installed into the system (the same with vboxmouse), even though the server version on openSUSE 11.0 is 1.4.0.90. I suppose this can simply be fixed by copying the correct driver (vboxvideo_drv_14.so and vboxmouse_drv_14.so) as built for the correct Xserver version. I did this manually and my server works fine now. In fact, copying the files from inside a KDE session and then going back to KDM, made mouse pointer integration work out of the box. A sax2 -r did pick up the VirtualBox video driver (VBoxVideo is loaded fine). One thing I am kind of annoyed about now is that the SaX2 GUI lists the graphics driver as "VESA Framebuffer Graphics" (this is a concatenation of VendorName and BoardName from the section with device). Is it possible for SaX2 to further differentiate between "vesa" and "vboxvideo" in it's description? I do not know where this data is pulled from... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

See comment #13.

So the reporting of "VESA Framebuffer Graphics" is simply an artefact of that hack and my forcing vboxvideo? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hi Stefan, did the fix go in for reporting the Virtualbox video driver name properly too, or is it still reporting VESA? This cannot be fixed unless vboxvideo becomes the default. I suggest to give
