I do not run Gentoo with GUI in a VM, but here is the option:
| Code: | │ Symbol: DRM_VIRTIO_GPU [=n]
│ Type : tristate
│ Prompt: Virtio GPU driver
│ Location:
│ -> Device Drivers
│ -> Graphics support
│ Defined at drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/Kconfig:1
│ Depends on: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && DRM [=y] && VIRTIO [=n] && MMU [=y]
│ Selects: DRM_KMS_HELPER [=y] && DRM_TTM [=n]
|

X now runs after installing app-emulations/virtualbox-guest-additions
Had to do the following to successfully emerge guest additions:
1. Resolve package conflicts:
mask x11-base/xorg-drivers to resolve blocked package in virtualbox-guest-additions:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8067272.html?sid=68cfc9ebf9858bcbb648ba3ef7639e8b
| Code: | touch /etc/portage/package.mask/x11
nano -w /etc/portage/package.mask/x11
=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.19:0/0
|
2. Downgrade to kernel 4.4 because guest-additions 5.0.32 fails to compile with kernel 4.9:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8031894.html#8031894
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603472
Alternatively you can patch kernel 4.9
Also, to compile Virtio GPU driver I had to manually edit /usr/src/linux/.config:
| Code: | CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=y |
Only after doing that would the option for Virtio GPU show up in make menuconfig. This was true for both 4.4 and 4.9 |

| Ok good to know- I double checked to make sure those dependencies were enable in the kernel and thankfully they already were. |
