Package: live-config
Version: 5.20160608
Severity: normal
User: [email protected]
Usertags: virt-guest for-stretch
Hi,
in live-config we have this code:
# xorg-driver automatic override for virtualbox
if [ -e /var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-guest-x11.list ] && echo "${_DEVICE}" |
grep -qs '^80EEBEEF'
then
LIVE_XORG_DRIVER="vboxvideo"
fi
… that forces using the vboxvideo *X.Org* driver if it's installed,
and we're running in VirtualBox.
This breaks starting X when the vboxvideo *kernel* (dkms) driver is
loaded:
(II) vboxvideo: kernel driver found, not loading.
(EE) No devices detected.
In that situation, X starts just fine after removing the xorg.conf.d
snippet added by live-config.
Besides, this code seems to be useless nowadays since when the
vboxvideo kernel driver is not present, X.Org successfully autodetects
and uses the vboxvideo X.Org driver (tested on Jessie + kernel from
jessie-backports), even without that xorg.conf.d custom snippet.
So, it seems to me that dropping the code quoted above would fix one
problem, simplify our code base a bit, and should not break anything.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
