Hi Julien, > > [Snip: how to get X to run with vbox additions when available] > reconfiguring xserver-xorg doesn't do anything in current sid, so that's > not the way to go. I've just built a sid Debian live image, which does indeed no longer generate any xorg.conf on startup, so modifying that probably doesn't make sense. I think the proper way to solve this is to get the Xorg and virtualbox packages to properly play together to get an autodetecting scenario, so I guess we can stop discussing this here :-) > If vboxmouse works with /dev/input/eventX, then the package containing > that driver can install a hal fdi to detect if it's running on vbox, and > set the input.x11_driver property to vboxmouse if so. See the > xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse package for an example. Ah, this is exactly what the unstable version of virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 does. Regarding my other question about persistence, any suggestions? I am prepared to invest some time to prepare a prober patch, but it would be nice to have some perspective on getting it merged. Gr.
