Description:

Updating from virtualbox-archlinux-modules-4.1.22-1 to virtualbox-guest-modules-4.2.0-2 breaks 3D acceleration on the guest and disables guest additions functionality, as reported in:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149255


Manually adding the udev rules used by virtualbox-archlinux-modules-4.1.22-1 restores missing functionality.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
4.2.0-2

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

- Update packages, reboot, start X and check if 3D acceleration is working:

[user@host ~]$ glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL Warning: Failed to connect to host. Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled for this VM.
...

So, this file was dropped during last update. I think to ship it with guest tools package instead of modules because this file can be used by:
- virtualbox-guest-source
- virualbox-guest-modules
- virualbox-guest-modules-lts.

Shipping it with the three will force a conflict between them which don't exists today. Any tought?
