Hello All, Just for the record, as of X.Org Server 1.19 the official way of supporting vboxvideo is the vboxvideo kernel driver with the X.Org modesetting driver. Patching the X.Org vboxvideo driver should work too of course (though not with non-root X.Org). That said, using the official set-up has the advantage of more testing, both for us and for you.
