cant create xorg.conf (virtualbox guest) debian 9
cant create xorg.conf (virtualbox guest) debian 9
I can start my Awesome wm without file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. But when i trying typing Xorg -configure i have error - vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver. virtualbox-guest-utils, dkms, linux-headers, build-essential, module-assistant installed. Vboxvideo driver is loaded, but resize and copy-paste buffer is not working (without xorg.conf). I installed virtualbox-guest-utils from backports and trying use this manual https://www.linuxbabe.com/debian/instal ... -9-stretch. Please help(

i didn't understand:
why do you think you need to auto-generate a xorg.conf on a debian vm?

I created a new debian VM. And at this time i could generate xorg.conf! With fbdev driver... Again no vboxdriver, no virtualbox-guest-utils functionality.
virtualbox-guest-utils.service is running.
I think this will be a better option.If xorg.conf is missing for some reason, Xorg will probe your hardware on every startup. Though this works fine in most cases, some settings remain inaccessible. To create a starting point for customization, do the following.

you really don't need it.varc wrote:I think this will be a better option.
i also suspect that the above quote is outdated.
Re: cant create xorg.conf (virtualbox guest) debian 9
but what about virtualbox-guest-utils and drivers?
Re: cant create xorg.conf (virtualbox guest) debian 9
not sure i understand.
what isn't working, what needs to be fixed?
and are you talking about the host or the client?

I've never had to create an xorg.conf file to get those working on many installs in VB. Make sure you have virtualbox-guest-x11 also installed, then run
and post the full output in a code box here so we can confirm the build succeeded. Sorry, but many posters have claimed various builds worked, but the output clearly shows that it failed, so we just want to make sure that's not the case here.
Code: Select all
apt-get install --reinstall virtualbox-guest-dkms

I'm very sorry for the bad explanation and bad english. Ok. no xorg.conf anymore.
I have debian core install and awesome wm. And virtualbox-guest-x11. The problems are: no buffer for copy-past between systems. And Auto resize guest display not working.

so this is a debian client, with guest additions installed?varc wrote:I have debian core install and awesome wm. And virtualbox-guest-x11. The problems are: no buffer for copy-past between systems. And Auto resize guest display not working.
the host is windows (no shame in admitting that)?
the guest additions must be installed in the client! (not the host)
then copy-paste (usually) works.
Re: cant create xorg.conf (virtualbox guest) debian 9
usually, but not this time. maybe I should add some kind of program to auto start with Awesome?
