Package: live-config
Version: 5.20160608
Severity: normal
User: tails-dev@boum.org
Usertags: virt-guest for-stretch

Hi,

in live-config we have this code:

  # xorg-driver automatic override for virtualbox
  if [ -e /var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-guest-x11.list ] && echo "${_DEVICE}" | grep -qs '^80EEBEEF'
  then
  	LIVE_XORG_DRIVER="vboxvideo"
  fi

… that forces using the vboxvideo *X.Org* driver if it's installed,
and we're running in VirtualBox.

This breaks starting X when the vboxvideo *kernel* (dkms) driver is
loaded:

  (II) vboxvideo: kernel driver found, not loading.
  (EE) No devices detected.

In that situation, X starts just fine after removing the xorg.conf.d
snippet added by live-config.

Besides, this code seems to be useless nowadays since when the
vboxvideo kernel driver is not present, X.Org successfully autodetects
and uses the vboxvideo X.Org driver (tested on Jessie + kernel from
jessie-backports), even without that xorg.conf.d custom snippet.

So, it seems to me that dropping the code quoted above would fix one
problem, simplify our code base a bit, and should not break anything.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Closes: 808732 831384 836102
Changes:
 live-config (5.20170112) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload.
   * Don't force the vboxvideo Xorg driver when virtualbox-guest-x11 is
     installed. It's harmful when we use the kernel driver. Closes: #831384
     Thanks to intrigeri and Rohan Garg.
   * Use dbus-run-session instead of dbus-launch to run gsettings. Thanks
     to Simon McVittie for the report. Closes: #836102
   * Support xorg-driver=noproprietary to not override Xorg's auto-detection
     of the driver (live-config does that by default for cards supported by the
     fglrx/nvidia drivers if they are installed). Thanks to Wolfgang Scheicher
     for the initial patch. Closes: #808732
