Extracting VBoxLinuxAdditions.run from 
VBoxGuestAdditions_5.0.17-105945.iso and extracting
./VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64.tar.bz2 from ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run by
running : 
./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --tar xvf ./VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64.tar.bz2

This VBoxGuestAdditions-amd64.tar.bz2 doesn't bring 
/usr/lib64/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so, this is correct ? 
 
As you may already know I'm packager maintainer of VirtaulBox on RPM
Fusion. Also Fedora have branched F24 (pre alfa version of F24). 
So as usual, I'd like have Fedora 24 to devel in a vm machine , with
VirtaulBox and install VBoxLinuxAdditions. 

With 5.0.16, to startup gnome or kde I have to remove
/usr/lib64/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so , without X loading vboxvideo_dri.so,
it is working . 

RPM Fusion also provides a GuestAdditions (package VirtualBox-guest) ,
I'd like try help and try r105881 Guest Additions, but to build the
package I need the sources, the sources are trunk of svn isn't it ? 

Thanks,
