How to fix a few errors in Xorg with vboxvideo and dri

[Nazgulled]

Hi,

I just noticed that I have a few errors when I launch Xorg with startx. The errors are as follows:

Code: Select all

FATAL: module vboxvideo not found.
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) VBoxVideo(0): DRIScreenInit failed, disabling DRI.

And my xorg.conf file:

Code: Select all

I tried to comment the Load "dri" line as with the whole Section "DRI" thing at the bottom which seem related to some of the errors, but it didn't work. I don't get those errors because X starts fine and I can play with it and GNOME. Still, I would like to fix those errors, something's not right...

What should I do?

Hi,

I just noticed that I have a few errors when I launch Xorg with startx. The errors are as follows:

Code: Select all

FATAL: module vboxvideo not found.
(EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
(EE) VBoxVideo(0): DRIScreenInit failed, disabling DRI.

I have almost the same (I don't have the FATAL:... line).

Did you find a solution?

I do not have a xorg.conf. I'm on ArchLinux.

Cheers,
Alexaner

What is the Host, and Guest?
What are your versions of Xorg and kernel?

[alexs77]

Guest: ArchLinux, Kernel 2.6.31, Xorg 1.7.1.901 (1.7.2 RC 1)
Host: Mac OS X 10.6.2

Same problem I think. I eventually get a blank screen because it kicks out to fail-safe mode, trys to load the vesa driver.

virtualbox: 3.1.2
host: Windows XP
Guest: Ubuntu 9.04
Kernel: 2.6.28-17-generic
Xserver: 1.6.0

Actual Message:

"Disabling DRI due to a version mismatch between server and driver. Server version: 5.0. Driver version: 5.4

I am having this same issue. How did you guys ever fix it? I tried to manually install the kernel module, but it ended up just making X seg fault.

[mcclosdl]

I was using a different version of the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso based on another guide. I switched to the version that came with the version of VBox i was using (3.2.8 r64453). So now that kernel module builds and installs correctly based on those install packages.

I've attached the x log.

Win7 64 Host
Arch Linux 2.6.34 i686 guest
