Fedora's developpers requested (because of their policy to not include third-party headers in sources) quite a while ago at virtualbox.org that the xf86-video-virtualbox driver should be buildable against the system-Xorg headers. This comes in quite handy especially when Xorg-server is bumped up. Currently xf86-video-virtualbox is restricted to a certain top level version of Xorg-server since it usually takes quite a while until the Xorg-headers are imported to the source code of virtualbox. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 364262 [details, diff] patch for the xf86-video-virtualbox-4.3.2 ebuild The changeset of Virtualbox that makes it possible to use the Xorg-headers is posted above. Using the define VBOX_USE_SYSTEM_XORG_HEADERS=1 during compilation of the driver results in a file named vboxvideo_drv_system.so that in turn will finally renamed to vboxvideo_drv.so. All the former xorg-version related drivers aren't built anymor when compiling with the define mentioned. According to the changeset of Virtualbox all versions >=xorg-server-1.7 should work. Since the driver should be recompiled when the xorg-server version is bumped, I added ":=" behind the xorg-server-version, but I am not sure whether this is correct. With this ebuild I am running successfully x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.99.903 that was unmasked yesterday.
