Well, first I'd do a "dmesg | grep vbox" to see if there are any errors |
| 38 |
listed. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
When I do a search for 98vboxadd-xclient on my Debian-Etch guest I find |
| 41 |
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-client. This is a script that starts |
| 42 |
/usr/bin/vboxadd-client with no options. If you tried the suggestion in |
| 43 |
the output about adding it to .xinitrc, try running |
| 44 |
/usr/bin/vboxadd-client from an xterminal. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Another thing, check to make sure that xorg.conf has "vboxvideo" as the |
| 47 |
driver in the "Device" section. "grep vbox /etc/X11/xorg.conf" |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Searches for dkms show that it's the Dynamic Kernel Module Support, a |
| 50 |
framework used to generate Linux kernel modules whose sources do not |
| 51 |
generally reside in the Linux kernel. If nothing else works, you may |
| 52 |
want to check the guest kernel config for any options that allow you to |
| 53 |
build modules from non-kernel sources (out of tree). For example, there |
| 54 |
are a few CRC options in the Library routines section. That said, I |
| 55 |
doubt this is the case since the modules seem to actually build okay. |
| 56 |
The DKMS line may just be an informational message. |
| 57 |

How did you install virtualbox? Make sure the Guest additions cd you're |
| 59 |
using is the same version as the virtualbox install you have. If you |
| 60 |
installed from portage, but downloaded the additions from the site, they |
| 61 |
almost certainly don't match. VB 1.5.6 is the latest version in the |
| 62 |
tree, with 1.5.4 being the latest stable (x86 and amd64) version. |
| 63 |
(app-emulation/virtualbox-additions is in the tree) |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Note two things though: |
| 67 |
1: Everything I suggested refers to inside the guest OS, and |
| 68 |
2: my info is from version 1.5.4_OSE. |
| 69 |
It's possible the vboxadd-client script is different in 1.6. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
Hope this helps, post any error messages you see, |
| 72 |
