[Bug 1049067] Re: vboxvideo driver not auto-loaded due to missing mod alias
I am new to using Ubuntu 12.04 and Linux. My Unity Appearance does not show the Icon size so that I can adjust it smaller. I found some reference to 3d acceleration no working and issued a suggested command /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p Result: OpenGL Warning: Failed to connect to host. Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled for this VM. libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo libGL error: Try again with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose for more details. OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x301) OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.0.3 Not software rendered:no Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program:yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object:yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: no So then I tried to read up on VirtualBox support of graphics acceleration, and found my way here. I do use the most recent version of VirtualBox on a Windows7x64bit host Dell IXPS 15 Laptop with NVIDIA GeForce GT540M 2GB graphics with optimus and an Integrated Intel Graphics Card. I am running it with the NVIDIA card enabled. I would like to be able to reduce the size of Unity Icons, however I'd also like to know that the programs I am running are using acceleration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049067 Title: vboxvideo driver not auto-loaded due to missing mod alias To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualbox/+bug/1049067/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Since Xorg 1.13 landed in Quantal, the vboxvideo drm driver fails to autoload, unless manually added to /etc/modules. vboxvideo is missing modalias export, thus udev does not know what driver to load for this.
