This task depends upon
i noticed that i start my vm with nomodeset (which isn’t mentioned in the wiki), without it i get a kernel null deref
vboxvideo from virtualbox-guest-modules-arch 5.1.2-2 was broken. Please update to version 5.1.2-3 and try again.
Probably a duplicate of
FS#50382...This is the nomodeset counterpart to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50382 and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/49752.
w/ KMS vboxvideo is loaded as a kernel module but cancels during xorg startup
[ 35.381] (II) vboxvideo: kernel driver found, not loading.
[ 35.382] (II) vboxvideo: kernel driver found, not loading.
w\ KMS xorg loads vboxvideo although it isn’t loadable through modprobe (this bug report)
[ 30.181] (II) VBoxVideo(0): VirtualBox guest additions video driver version 5.1.2_OSEr108956
I don’t know if vboxvideo is just not meant to be used w\ KMS but it isn’t working w/ KMS either…
