[SOLVED] Fedora 9 with VB 3.2.8

Post by RagingAvatar »

Hey guys,

I'm trying to work on Cell processor programming in a VM - but this REQUIRES Fedora 9 for the SDK.

However, when I try to install the guest additions for 3.2.8 in Fedora 9 it breaks my X11.
I thought at first it was that the mode line wasn't set correctly or something but actually the problem seems to be this error message informing me:

Code: Select all

failed to load module: vboxvideo - module requirement mismatch
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate some help.

I managed to fix this today by updating X11 before to the latest (F9) version before installing the guest additions.

Everything behaved beautifully after that :)

Yes, and if you were to look here, you would have known that beforehand.
