[solved] After upgrade X not working because of vboxvideo driver

rangalo · 2009-04-22 09:24:58

Hi,

I upgraded using

pacman -Syuf

command. Many packages were upgraded. I am running arch in a VirtualBox on Ubuntu 8.10.

Virtualbox version is 2.1.4 I again installed the Vbox Guest Additions, but this didn't help.

Xorg.0.log has following lines with EE

(EE) module ABI major version (4) doesn't match the server's version (5)
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

How should I fix this. If I don't use vboxvideo drivers, I get very poor resolution.

regards,
Hardik

I upgraded using
pacman -Syuf

I don't think this is a good idea. Dependency checks (among others) are there for a reason. I assume you force-upgraded virtualbox and violated its dependency for kernel < 2.6.29?

virutalbox is not installed on arch it is on ubuntu it is the same and I also tried upgrading it to the lated available.

Now the question is how to go back. Or fix the stuff.

Thanks all.

I had to install VirtualBox 2.2 and its Guest additions, X is working now.
