[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#795424: virtualbox-guest-x11: KDM causes vboxvideo driver to crash on assertion at login time.

[David Martínez Moreno]

Package: virtualbox-guest-x11
Version: 4.3.30-dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I'm submitting this for 4.3.30-dfsg-1, but 5.0.0-dfsg-1 is also
affected.

KDM (at least) uses the generations extension in the XServer to avoid
reloading it.  This triggers an assertion in the vboxvideo driver
causing a black screen usually right after login.

There's a patch fixing this (and more information that I requested) at
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14341.  I'll cherry-pick it and add it
to the 4.3.x branch.

Additionally, virtualbox 4.3 cannot be compiled with gcc-5.2, the
default in unstable right now. :-)


    Ender.
