Description Willard Dawson 2011-06-02 21:31:55 UTC
I have Virtualbox running hardened-selinux profile Gentoo as guest. The host is Windows XP SP3 (if that matters).  I try to start kdm in the guest, but it fails.  The error from 'X -configure' is helpful:

List of video drivers:
	vboxvideo
dlopen: /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so: undefined symbol: DRICreatePCIBusID
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (loader failed, 7)
No devices to configure.  Configuration failed.

There does not appear to be support for static-libs when building x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox, which is the owner of vboxvideo_drv.so.

Is there a workaround or resolution to the problem - to make vboxvideo work as the display device driver module in a hardened selinux system?


Reproducible: Always

Looks like textrels are in the code. Try looking in dmesg.

I gave up on making hardened profile work as a Virtualbox guest... too many issues and not enough time on my part.

Doing some old bug cleaning, closing this one since the OP has given up hope :/
