yes, just VIDEO_CARDS="vesa" and INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse". and |
| 63 |
have you installed the vbox additions? i had trouble when emerge the |
| 64 |
vbox specific drivers from gentoo portage. so i just install the |
| 65 |
binary from the vbox iso. and the installation tool will install the |
| 66 |
vboxvideo for you. and the X -configure can find it. but i did not |
| 67 |
notice any advantage using the vboxvideo driver. the 'vesa' driver |
| 68 |
works very well even with compiz fusion. |
