Bug#697146: xserver-xorg script forces vboxvideo even if virtualbox guest additions are not installed
Package: live-config
Version: 3.0.15-1
Tags: patch
The xserver-xorg script is forcing the 'vboxvideo' driver on virtualbox
even if the guest additions (virtualbox-guest-x11 package) are not
installed. This leads to X not starting on live systems without that
package.
The attached simple patch should resolve the issue (still not tested, I
will do in the coming hours).
Regards,
Eugenio
