1 Hello all,
2
3 Everybody told me to give up trying to update one of my guest gentoo
4 systems under virtualbox and *simply* reinstall it.
5
6 I did that and now, when I enter "xinit", x starts and then dies with
7 the message:
8
9 /MESA-LOADER: failed to open vboxvideo (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)/
10
11 /failed to load driver: vboxvideo/
12
13 Note that the vboxvideo module is loaded:
14
15 /$ lsmod | grep vbox/
16
17 */vboxvideo              40960  1/*
18 /ttm                   122880  1 vboxvideo/
19 /drm_kms_helper        217088  1 vboxvideo/
20 /drm                   552960  4 drm_kms_helper,vboxvideo,ttm/
21 /vboxnetadp             28672  0/
22 /vboxnetflt             32768  0/
23 /vboxdrv               475136  2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt/
24 /vboxguest             335872  0/
25
26 but it turns out there's a vboxvideo_drv.so here:
27
28 //usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so/
29
30 I tried putting a symlink in /usr/lib64/dri to that, but it didn't help.
31
32 Anybody have any experience here?
33
34 TIA
