Hello!

I'm trying to run Gentoo as VirtualBox guest.
For that I have emerged virtualbox-guest-additions-5.1.22


At first Xorg started, but additions didn't work because of vboxvideo kernel module
Here's the interesting part of dmesg
Code:
[    3.231898] vboxguest: misc device minor 57, IRQ 20, I/O port d020, MMIO at 00000000f0400000 (size 0x400000)

It appears, that vboxvideo depends on DRM_TTM module, which you can't turn on youself.
It's enabled automatically if you enable any module, which depends on it, in make menuconfig.
Code:
config DRM_TTM
   tristate
   depends on DRM
   help
     GPU memory management subsystem for devices with multiple
     GPU memory types. Will be enabled automatically if a device driver
     uses it.

Those modules are - ast, cirrus, mgag200, nouveau, radeon, vmwgfx.
So, unless you enable one of these modules, you can't use virtualbox-guest-additions :).
I have decided to enable vmwgfx (at leas it has something in common wiht virtualbox) and dmesg became better.
The messages about unknown symbols are gone.
Also, console window became larger, so I'm sure vboxvideo actually started working.

But Xorg is not starting now.
Here's my /var/log/Xorg.log.0 file

So, kernel driver is found, but no devices detected.
Does anyone know what to do about that?

I have virtualbox-guest-additions.5.1.22 installed and kernel version 4.9.16

You get "unknown symbol" error when you try to insert a module into a kernel it was not built against.

Here is a part of Xorg.0.log from a working guest: same vbox and kernel versions, also with vmwgfx driver enabled to get ttm:

I see there is no mention of "kms" or "kernel mode setting" in your Xorg log. Do you have it enabled in kernel?

Code:
# zgrep KMS /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER=y


Also, do you have a "Driver" in Xorg.conf "Device" Section? You don't need any. You don't even need a "Device" section.

I have that in .config, which I used to build my kernel
Code:
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER=y


But X is not loading modesetting_drv .

Maybe I should have some drivers installed. I have installed Virtio as per VirtualBox section of Gentoo wiki.

This is /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so and belongs to x11-base/xorg-server. Do you have the file? If not, what are your use flags for xorg-server?

The wiki says "VIRTIO_GPU". Interesting, I have never heard of it and have not enabled it in my config. Not even visible because it depends on CONFIG_VIRTIO which is not enabled.

Ok, I still have no idea what's going on, but after some thinking I have realized, that I have rebuilt my kernel several times, after emerging virtualbox-guest-additions. So, maybe rebuilding the package with all dependencies against new kernel configuration would help.
Code:
emerge -ae virtualbox-guest-additions

Please post the output of

Code:
lsmod


and

Code:
emerge -pv virtualbox-guest-additions


And get rid of any config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, let Xorg and kernel DRM handle everything.

After installing a new kernel you are supposed to do emerge @module-rebuild.

No, I'm not . I have fixed that by enabling DRM_TTM in the kernel. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my first post. I'll fix that, thanks.

poxu,

Can we have a clean self consistent data set to work with please?
All from your guest system.

lspci
the outputut of dmesg
your kernel .config
the content of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

lspci will fit into a post, the other things need to be go to a pastebin.
wgetpaste is your friend.

The output of
Code:
uname -a
and
Code:
ls -l /boot
might be interesting too.

poxu,

This is good. It shows that the kernel part of the video driver is loaded and is providing your console framebuffer.

Your boot and uname -a looks reasonable too. Build number #21 eww but ar lest the kernel build time, Thu May 25 16:18:22, is recent.
We have seen two week old kernels there, so it was just to check your kernel install process was working.

It was all looking good until
Xorg.0.log:
[    20.178] (--) using VT number 7

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

The kernel driver found, not loading, is correct. You are using the kernel driver for the console.

Let me boot SystemRescueCD in VBox and see what it does.

I'm not sure if CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU=y is harmless or not.
VIRTIO can used by kernel virtual machines to speed up I/O. Its in place of the emulated hardware that you see in the guest lspci.
However, both the host and guest must support VIRTIO, so it can't support unmodified guest operating systems.

--- edit ---

Reading between the lines ..
Xorg.0.log:
[    19.890] (==) Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
[    19.890] (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

[    19.932] (**) |   |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[    19.932] (**) |   |-->Device "Device-vboxvideo"

you are trying to tell Xorg how the start. Don't do that.

A default startup long includes
SystemRescueCD Xorg.0.log:
[   252.209] (==) Matched vboxvideo as autoconfigured driver 0
[   252.209] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 1
[   252.209] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
[   252.209] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 3"

Which is the list of auto detected open source drivers Xorg will try for the hardware its finds itself on.
Since your Xorg.conf.log is missing that list, somewhere in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d you are telling Xorg to use
Code:
[    19.932] (**) |-->Screen "Screen-vboxvideo" (0)
[    19.932] (**) |   |-->Device "Device-vboxvideo"
and maybe other non default things.
Remove those settings.

Since my last post I have made a clean install of Gentoo, but chose not to use virtualbox-5.1.22 and used 5.0.32 instead.
And X was working. I got suspicious and made a clean install with virtualbox-5.1.22, and it worked too.

And then I read your reply.
Code:
somewhere in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d you are telling Xorg to use and maybe other non default things. Remove those settings.

I didn't put anything to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d , but virtualbox-guest-additions had instructed me to put /usr/share/doc/virtualbox-guest-additions-5.1.22/xorg.conf.vbox to my configuration. And I put it to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ! I totally forgot about that. After I removed it, X started working!

Thank you so much for your help!

poxu,

Check that your vbox guest is working for the right reasons.

Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see which driver its using.
vboxvideo is the right answer.

Reinstalling never fixes Gentoo. It only provides the opportunity to make a different mistake :)

I totally agree! Just wanted to make sure it's not the unstable version of virtualbox-guest-additions I was using.

poxu,

Check your log for this snippet.
Code:
[   252.209] (==) Matched vboxvideo as autoconfigured driver 0
[   252.209] (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 1
[   252.209] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
[   252.209] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 3


Modesetting is the second on the list. Xorg should try the drivers on that list in order until one loads.
It implies that the the Xorg part of vboxvideo is not loading for some reason.

The driver is provided by xorg-drivers, if you list virtualbox in VIDEO_CARDS=
You can avoid some rebuilds by using
Code:
emerge -1av x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox


Is that a new package?
Be sure you get the version that matches your VBox version. Mix and match might work but you get to keep the pieces if it doesn't.

I thought, that vboxvideo driver uses modesetting.

I have added the following to my make.conf
Code:
VIDEO_CARDS="virtualbox"


I don't have any drivers, except for vboxvideo in my system and X still works. Modesetting is on though.

Versions match.

So the question is now if it's ok, if I have modesetting in my Xorg.0.log
