[Bug 374710] New: current xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox 1.5. 6 driver fails to load with sax2
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=374710 Summary: current xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox 1.5.6 driver fails to load with sax2 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 3rd Party Driver AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tm.mst@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: --- Currently the xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose-1.5.6-9.1.i586.rpm doesn't work in openSUSE 11.0 alpha 3 due to a ABI mismatch. I also tried to use the guest-addition ISO of Innotek to manually build the VirtualBox mouse and xorg driver, but this fails because of the new linux kernel 2.6.25 (this is known and solved by Innotek, but not already released official AFAIK). It's a bit hard to test 11.0 with just a 800x600 screen resolution :) , but maybe it is just a matter of time, so that the next VirtualBox release handles this. Just in case, I'll attach the /var/log/SaX2.log -- 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.

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.

Stefan, did you see Comment #16? It seems like it's the spec file (aka the packaging), not a problem with VirtualBox per se?
Sorry, no I didn't see this comment. I'm wondering that such really useful comments apparently are simply ignored by our virtualbox maintainer. :-(
I can assure you the product is alive and kicking :)
Oops. Lenz, MySQL has been bought by SUN, which later bought VirtualBox, right? So you probably know more about VirtualBox than any other person here, who is not working for SUN. In case you have developer contacts there please let us know. :-) -- 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.

- use the appropriate driver version of vboxvideo/vboxmouse for openSUSE 11.1, 11.0, 10.3 and lower (bnc #374710, bnc #438590)
So hopefully this issue is fixed now.
Hi Stefan, did the fix go in for reporting the Virtualbox video driver name properly too, or is it still reporting VESA? I'm about to run off a beta4 on Virtualbox 2.0.4 so I will find out in about an hour to confirm. -- 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.
