next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I had been running X11 inside of a FreeBSD VM under VirtualBox, but it refuses to run after the last upgrade a few days ago. The only error is that it can't open /usr/local/lib/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so. The file doesn't exist so that isn't surprising, but why is it necessary now? I don't really expect high performance, but I want something to run for testing. I did try booting the same system onto hardware and it ran fine with my Radeon card. The video drivers include xf86-video-vesa, but it insists on trying to run the vboxvideo driver that doesn't exist. I did try booting with vboxguest and vboxservice disabled, but there was no change. The system is FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE and here are a few of the possibly relevant packages: virtualbox-ose-additions-4.3.20_1 xf86-video-ati-7.5.0 xf86-video-vesa-2.3.3_4 xorg-7.7_1 xorg-drivers-7.7_2 Is there some way to run this with software rendering? Please let me know if there is more information needed. Thanks for any ideas. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
