Enabling XVideo surfaces with vboxvideo driver in xorg

Post by tim »

Hi,

I am having difficulty finding any documentation on the options and features supported by the vboxvideo driver for xorg and the Guest Additions.

My configuration is a Debian Lenny guest installation with the VirtualBox-ose-modules on a Windows XP host. Things are going fine with the exception that the driver doesn't support the XVideo extensions.

How can I set up the driver to enable XVideo support? I have tried options from other drivers in case there was a common approach but these are not recognised.

Is there any documentation on the options supported?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim
