VirtualBox 5.1.22 and GDM3/gnome-session graphics problems?

Post by krab[RU] »

Fresh Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 installed in latest VirtualBox 5.1.22 r115126. Gnome-shell boots and works fine but glxinfo shows im using Gallium? http://i.imgur.com/mOSwRLv.png

And after installing VirtualBox Guest Additions (official additions, also same problem with additions from ubuntu repository) gdm3 can't boot. Just back screen. Log from xorg.0.log http://i.imgur.com/iGHn5G1.png

Same problem in Fedora 26 Alpha using gdm3/gnome-session.

VBox 5.1.22 don't support Xorg 1.19? But how the hell Unity works with Guest Additions installed?

Code: Select all

grep video /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log 
(EE) vboxvideo: module ABI major version (20) doesn't match the server's version (23)

On Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 gdm3/gnome-session works with official guest additions.
