I don't think there is much benefit in including the vbox video driver without
the kernel module.
However in oneiric Jockey will detect the virtualbox guest additions.

I think kvm and virtualbox support rather different use cases:
* kvm for serious server virtualization by people who know what they
are doing
* virtualbox for easy desktop virtualization for end users who do not
care about how it works underneath and will probably only want one or
two
The problem is that the vbox guest kernel modules are not part of the mainline
kernel which means they can't be installed by default.
However for oneiric I'll try to get them installed when you select the
third-party software checkbox in the installer.

I talked with Dustin about this at UDS. KVM is the preferred standard
default for virtualization. virtualbox is currently a universe
component, and it would need to be included in main before we could
consider including support for it for X by default.
Further, giving the large number of vbox X

There is an xserver task here in that xserver needs to automatically
detect and use the 'vboxvideo' driver when VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
[80ee:beef] is present. I'll have a patch for this bit in shortly.

Hi lool,
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've
made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

This isn't really a bug in X.Org :-)
What's your opinion on including VirtualBox in the packages
xserver-xorg-input-all and xserver-xorg-video-all?

I'm not opposed to it, as long as someone will care for maintaining the
drivers and bug reports filed against them.

I just noticed that the mouse driver doesn't work without the kernel module.
The video driver runs in compatibility mode, which means that seamless mode,
auto-resizing and graphics acceleration don't work.
