[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#459440: virtualbox-ose: autoloading of vboxdrv.ko

[David Bremner]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.4-dfsg-1
Severity: minor


When virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-modules are installed, as far as 
I can tell, nothing actually loads the module. This is not too clear 
from the message printed when virtual box is run. I agree experienced 
users will usually figure this out, but the message from virtualbox does 
say install virtualbox-ose-modules.

Or maybe this is because I used module-assistant to build 
virtualbox-ose-modules?
