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
I just discovered that on another vbox/gentoo installation I have, which works fine, I also get these exact messages! MESA-LOADER: failed to open vboxvideo (search paths /usr/lib64/dri) I found the tip here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=84652 I still can't X to start, but now understand it's a completely different issue!
