can't boot into GUI after removing guest additions

[realthor]

One problem solved, now another. I seems that vbox additions replace the original xorg.conf when installed. I did a pkgrm on the guest additions on opensolaris and now i can't boot in GUI.

A startx as root from console spits these:

(EE) Failed to load module "record" (module does not exist , 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "xtrap" (module does not exist , 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "glcore" (module does not exist , 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module does not exist , 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxmouse" (module does not exist , 0)
(EE) No drivers available

^C_X11TransNAMEDOpenClient: Cannot open /tmp/.X11-pipe/X0 for NAMED connection
_X11TransOpen: transport open failed for local/opensolaris:0
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 3): unexpected signal 2.

Any suggestion? rebuilding xorg.conf vs reinstalling virtual machine (i don't have snapshots )

Look in the /etc/X11 for a backup of the original xorg.conf
Rename the current one and then rename the backup to xorg.conf
Sometimes VBox only comments out the portion of the original xorg.conf (I don't have my OpenSolaris up at the moment) if that is the case here then you will need to comment the part that is not and uncomment that which is.

EDIT: I am moving this to the Opensolaris guest forum since that is where it belongs.

Snap, I opened this topic for nothing.

I just went to /cdrom, found that the vboxadditions package was pointing to /media/vboxadditions??? (don't remmember exactly the path as I rebooted right now) and did a pkgadd -d on the .pkg file .

Problem solved, hopefully this will help someone sometime and not just occupy space here.

edit: I didn't see any backup only xorg.conf which was still pointing to vbox drivers...now after boot there is xorg.conf.bak but it only backuped the previous version that dodn't let me boot in GUI. So I guess that's all for the original xorg.conf (by the way it doesn't have anything commented).
