Hello all,
Everybody told me to give up trying to update one of my guest gentoo
systems under virtualbox and *simply* reinstall it.
I did that and now, when I enter "xinit", x starts and then dies with
the message:
/MESA-LOADER: failed to open vboxvideo (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)/
/failed to load driver: vboxvideo/
Note that the vboxvideo module is loaded:
/$ lsmod | grep vbox/
*/vboxvideo 40960 1/*
/ttm 122880 1 vboxvideo/
/drm_kms_helper 217088 1 vboxvideo/
/drm 552960 4 drm_kms_helper,vboxvideo,ttm/
/vboxnetadp 28672 0/
/vboxnetflt 32768 0/
/vboxdrv 475136 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt/
/vboxguest 335872 0/
but it turns out there's a vboxvideo_drv.so here:
//usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so/
I tried putting a symlink in /usr/lib64/dri to that, but it didn't help.
Anybody have any experience here?
TIA
