[SOLVED] 3d Acceleration on Arch Linux guest

I've just installed the latest FTP Arch Linux (2009.02) as a Guest running in Virtual Box 3.0.2 in my Windows 7 host, and I cannot get Xorg working at all.

- 3D Acceleration is enabled for the VM, and 128MB of video memory allocated
- Guest Additions were installed successfully, added rc.vboxadd to daemons, and everything loads ok on startup.

Output of 'dmesg | grep vbox':

vboxadd: Successfully loaded version 3.0.2 (interface 0x0010004)
vboxvfs: Successfully loaded version 3.0.2 (interface 0x0010004)
[drm] Initialized vboxvideo 1.0.0 20090303 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0

Here is my .xinitrc:

/usr/bin/VBoxClient-all

I've symlinked vboxvideo_dri.so since the installer didn't do it.
Output of 'ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so':

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-07-31 22:42 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so -> /usr/lib/VBoxOGL.so

And error when I run 'startx':

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so failed (libXcomposite.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

waiting for X server to shut down

And then it shuts down, without even trying to load swrast_dri.so. But the weirdest part is, that symlink exists, but X is saying it doesn't! I've restarted the VM and still get the same error.

Here is my xorg.conf (created by installing GA), and I do have HAL up and running, loaded before the rc.vboxadd daemon:

# Default xorg.conf for Xorg 1.5+ without PCI_TXT_IDS_PATH enabled.
#
# This file was created by VirtualBox Additions installer as it
# was unable to find any existing configuration file for X.

Section "Device"
            Identifier          "VirtualBox Video Card"
            Driver              "vboxvideo"
EndSection

So... what next?  sad

Re: [SOLVED] 3d Acceleration on Arch Linux guest

Silly me, I forgot the libxcomposite package. I guess I should read the errors closer.

Anyway, I'm still getting an error (signal 11) being caused by VBoxClient-all. Here is my Xorg.0.log:

Re: [SOLVED] 3d Acceleration on Arch Linux guest

Ok so for some reason removing VBoxClient-all from the .xinitrc allowed me to boot into X (though the screen was all blitted, switching to a tty via Ctrl-Alt-F1 then back to Ctrl-Alt-F7 fixes this. I believe this is a known issue and happens with gdm on my Ubuntu guest), but having JUST VBoxClient-all in the .xinitrc caused a segfault in X.

So I decided to continue on without the VBoxClient functionality and installed and configured SLiM and OpenBox. Once in OpenBox, I tried running VBoxClient-all in an xterm and it worked! Here is my current working .xinitrc:

VBoxClient-all
pcmanfm &
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox-session

I would say that my problem is solved, I'm just curious as to why VBoxClient doesn't work in a simple X session?

Re: [SOLVED] 3d Acceleration on Arch Linux guest

Hi all,

I just did my very first basic installation of Archlinux in a VirtualBox-VM wich went generally fine thanks to the excellent documentation. But now I feel like I might be bumping into similar problems without having the technical skilllevel of timmahcheese so I thought maybe someone round here would be so kind lend a hand.

I setup a basic graphic desktop using PekWM, feh and bmpanel, setting "use_composite" in bmpanel to "0" to avoid composition. Somehow it seems to be required anyway and this is where my setup isn't working poroperly so far. X takes up high amounts of CPU and stuff like dragging windows creates a lot of lag.

Here's the error my Xorg.0.log is reporting.

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/vboxvideo_dri$
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so
(II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
(II) VBoxVideo(0): Setting screen physical size to 359 x 213
(II) config/hal: Adding input device Macintosh mouse button emulation
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evdev_drv.so
(II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

My DEMONS-section in rc.conf looks like this:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond alsa dbus hal rc.vboxadd)

And this is what I put in my .xinitrc:

/usr/bin/VBoxClient-all
exec pekwm

Another drawback is that I have to restart X every time I resize the guest window or set it to fullscreen. Otherwise I will get display errors with bmpanel and feh. Is this a failure or a gerneral incompatibility?

Instead of attempting to hijack this thread, why don't you make your own? :S

Well my post seemed on topic to me but of couse I can be prooven wrong. If I had wanted to hijack or trash a useful thread the OP obviously put some work into I though had better used advanced troll techniques like useless fullquotes and teenage megalomania.

Any failure messages?

Here I can just press those three keys. Did you keep in mind that in the standard configuration of VB you have to use the left crtl-button though as the right one is configured as escape key?
