** 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. I think previously Xorg would load the drm drivers if they weren't already, but that doesnt seem to be happening anymore. This can be fixed by exporting mod alias from the drm driver. See attached patch. + + [Impact] + The graphics acceleration doesn't work in guests. + + [Test Case] + The vboxvideo needs to be loaded (check with "lsmod | grep vboxvideo") + + This error doesn't appear in the X log: + (EE) VBoxVideo(0): DRIScreenInit failed, disabling DRI. + Check with: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log + + [Development Fix] + Fixed during Raring cycle. + + [Stable Fix] + Is being fixed in 4.1.18-dfsg-1ubuntu1.2 upload to quantal-proposed. + + [Regression Potential] + Very low, the fix is to add an init script that loads the vboxvideo kernel module.
