Error with vboxvideo: does not export required DRI extensions.

Hello everbody,

this has been driving me crazy for days now. I have the latest VirtualBox installed with the latest Guest additions. I have the latest ArchLinux running and have followed the Beginners Guide. I installed X server and then installed the Linux Guest Additions. Then I noticed that X server is trying to load vboxvideo_dri.so instead of vboxvideo_drv.so so I followed some guide on the Internet and made a softlink to /usr/lib/VBoxOGL.so and it seemed to fix that problem.

Now I am getting:

AIGLX: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extensions

Everything works fine (I am writing this from the guest archlinux OS) except that I would really like hardware acceleration so things would run smoother.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

I think hardware acceleration is not working 100% in VirtualBox and you must first set your virtual machine to use 3D acceleration from the options.

Re: Error with vboxvideo: does not export required DRI extensions.

Agree with twilight0
I also encounter a strange case in the past two days.
Yesterday
  Must enable "3D acceleration" to get Xorg installed without error.  vm(xfce4) can be maximize to fill my 19" LCD.
Today
  After pacman -Syu, kernel updated, re-run vbox addition.  vm retain at 800x600 with thick black broder
  un-click "3D acceleration" during reboot.  vm(xfce4) can be maximize to fill my 19" LCD again ^^!!

btw, i don't need 3D in vm.  any way to just get rid of it?

EDIT:
really strange
the effect of setting on/off 3D just get reversed.

I have the same problem as OP, any solution to this? bug in Virtualbox or who to blame?

Re: Error with vboxvideo: does not export required DRI extensions.

guys, just use the guest additions available for guest arch systems from community.

pacman -S virtualbox-guest-additions

they should work out of the box, heck i only do pacman -S xorg-server gnome virtualbox-guest-additions and boot directly into gnome-shell

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I did re-install Arch with your method but it's the same error.

I don't know if it's because i am running Win7 64-bits and Arch 32-bits as guest in Virtualbox?

I´m having the same error, tried guest additions aswell but to no avail, guess i`ll just try to figure out what to do and check if someone got rid of this error in other threads...
