Is modesetting driver in Xorg.0.log ok?

Post by poxu »

Hello!

I'm running Gentoo linux as VirtualBox Guest. Xorg works, but Xorg.0.log is a little bit weird.
There's a section with driver priority

Code: Select all

[    22.474] (==) Matched vboxvideo as autoconfigured driver 0
[    22.474] (==) Matched vboxvideo as autoconfigured driver 1
[    22.474] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
[    22.474] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
[    22.474] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
vboxvideo is first in the list and modesetting is second.
But after that I see, that modesetting is used

Code: Select all

[    22.501] (II) VBoxVideo: guest driver for VirtualBox: vbox
[    22.501] (II) modesetting: Driver for Modesetting Kernel Drivers: kms
[    22.501] (--) using VT number 7

[    22.504] (II) vboxvideo: kernel driver found, not loading.
[    22.504] (II) vboxvideo: kernel driver found, not loading.
[    22.505] (II) modeset(0): using drv /dev/dri/card0
[    22.505] (II) modeset(0): Creating default Display subsection in Screen section
	"Default Screen Section" for depth/fbbpp 24/32
[    22.505] (==) modeset(0): Depth 24, (==) framebuffer bpp 32
[    22.505] (==) modeset(0): RGB weight 888
[    22.505] (==) modeset(0): Default visual is TrueColor
Is it supposed to be like that? I though if the system uses vboxvideo driver, there shouldn't be modesetting in logs. Could somebody clear that out?

My full Xorg.0.log is on paste_pound-python_org/show/eGP6gG3DtvoKy92o80CT . Couldn't post pastebin link, because it's my first post, sorry.

You can always ZIP the log and attach it here (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form). It's the preferred way of doing things actually...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
