vboxvideo error -> fixed in 4.2.x and later releases as of Nov 11 2013

[Ashuras]

I am running VirtualBox v4.2.16 on Windows 8, trying to install RHEL 6.1 Enterprise Linux as a guest, with GUI. When I try to install Guest Additions in RHEL 6.1, the OpenGL support module failed.

In the /var/log/vboxadd-install.log, it says, /tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c: In function 'vboxvideo_init': /tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c:176: error: too many arguments to function 'drm_pci_init' /tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c: In function 'vboxvideo_exit': /tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c:185: error: implicit declaration of function 'drm_pci_exit'

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.3.2.

I still see this problem with VBox 4.3.2. Host OS is CentOS 5.10 64-bit, target OS is CentOS 6.1 64-bit.

Confirmed. Please see below for the fix which you can apply locally if you would like to test. Alternatively you can try the Additions build at

Thanks! Provided image solves the problem. kernel: 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 VB: 4.3.2 r90405

OpenGL build went fine this time.
