getting an ACCESS DENIED error when trying to emerge the above ebuild. i'm wondering if this is because the device is in use..? i'll include a snippet and i'll include the full build log as an attachment because there's a lot of output.. ...

Created attachment 189480 [details] build log for xf86-video-virtualbox-2.2.0
Are you inside a virtualbox or on your live system? Your VIDEO_CARDS="radeon radeonhd fglrx virtualbox" look a little strange. You need either ati or virtualbox, first for your livesytem and second inside a virtualbox which is running gentoo.
(In reply to comment #2) > Are you inside a virtualbox or on your live system? live system. virtualbox isn't even running. > Your VIDEO_CARDS="radeon radeonhd fglrx > virtualbox" look a little strange. i should think they'd be able to co-exist? what i really don't understand is why: 1. virtualbox runs fine without this ebuild 2. it's being pulled in as a dependency 3. it's a NEW INSTALL: zsh 5695 % emerge -uDNvva world superuser access is required... adding --pretend to options. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

(In reply to comment #3) > and for the live of me i can't figure out why it's pulling it in as a > dependency. Because you have "virtualbox" written into the VIDEO_CARDS variable in your /etc/make.conf file.
(In reply to comment #4) > Because you have "virtualbox" written into the VIDEO_CARDS variable in your > /etc/make.conf file. > then why is it trying to install it now, and never tried to before? is it because of version 2.2.0? i've removed virtualbox from my make.conf's VIDEO_CARDS and it seems it's still getting pulled in, via guest-additions: zsh 2960 # emerge -uDNvva world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

Used on server: app-emulation/virtualbox-bin app-emulation/virtualbox-modules app-emulation/virtualbox-ose app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions Used on guest: app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions x11-drivers/xf86-input-virtualbox x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox And read the messages emerge gives you: From virtualbox-guest-additions: "Warning:" "this ebuild is only needed if you are running gentoo" "inside a VirtualBox Virtual Machine, you don't need" "it to run VirtualBox itself."
