Description:

On a new install, (virtualbox virtual machine) weston-launch failing initialization with
failed to load module: /usr/lib/gbm/gbm_gallium_drm.so: No such file or directory.

Probably lacking some dependencies? I cannot find the package which should contain this file.

Additional info:

I doubt the VirtualBox driver is sufficient to run Weston on Wayland.

but why the error looks more like a "file not found" than a "hardware not supported"?

Added dump of stderr

Apparently, the /usr/lib/gbm/gbm_gallium_drm.so is not part anymore of the mesa package from August, 3 2014. Here is the bugreport asking to remove it: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/41337?project=1

I'll do more tests, to see if recompiling mesa with --enable-gallium-gbm will fix it, then eventually file a regression report against mesa

Works with:
weston-launch -- --backend=fbdev-backend.so

but it's not working with drm backend. I have no trace of the galium stuff you're talking about.
