vboxvideo does not work with Xorg 1.19

[andrzej1_1]

Problem:

Guest Additions works up to Xorg 1.18. Under latest 1.19 (which was released nearly year ago), 3d acceleration does not work and there is error in Xorg.0.log:

   (II) LoadModule: "vboxvideo"
   (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vboxvideo
   (II) UnloadModule: "vboxvideo"
   (II) Unloading vboxvideo
   (EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module does not exist, 0)

Simple reproduction:

install Arch Linux with desktop environment inside VirtualBox, then install Guest Additons.

I downgraded Xorg to 1.18 and everything was running smoothly and there were not any errors in xorg log. Why can't you just provide Guest Additions with videobox_drv_119.so?

Latest testbuild on windows 5.2.x revision 120349 doesn't work with Oracle Linux 7.4. I had to downgrade Xorg to 1.17
