#5731 closed defect (fixed)

Guest additions don't work for fedora 12 kernel 2.6.31.6-162.fc12-x86-64 -> fixed after 3.1.2

Description

Hi, I'm having an issue when installing VBoxLinuxAddition-amd64. Black screen appears with a lightning underscore (but when I press ctrl-alt-f2 I can access the console). startx command tells me that VBox1 is available but no modes is set. I removed guestadditions so I can't reproduce the problem and post the Xorg.0.log.

It neither work with 2.6.31.6-166-fc12.x86_64

The error when I type startx: (EE) open /dev/fb0: no such file or directory (EE) VBoxVideo(0): output VBOX1 enabled but has no modes (EE) VBoxVideo(0): Initial CRTC configuration failed (EE) Screens found, but none have usable configuration.

Fatal server error: no screens found

It would indeed be helpful if you could attach (not copy and paste :) ) Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf from the guest to this ticket.

Guest Additions for standard kernel Fedora 12 (both i686 and x64) work perfectly.

tcharl: how much video RAM did you allocate to the guest? If it is less than 12MB, could you try increasing it?

Hi,

I solved my issue,

  • Installing system-config-display
    yum install system-config-display }}}
     * running the command
    {{{
    system-config-display }}}
     * Choosing custom display settings and configuring video card driver with the vendor one.
    
    Cheers, 
    }}}

I have reproduced this and fixed it locally. It is a result of the guest screen size sanity check not quite working as it should and rejecting the saved screen size from the last session.
