Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Hi,
There's a typo in the released fix for bug #319373 that keeps it from
it's intended result. In a vanilla 9.04 install, there is an extra space
in the added line that causes the grep statement to fail and still
default to vesa for the driver. On my system failsafeDexconf reads:
VBOX_VIDEO-$(grep -e "^vbox " /proc/modules || true)
where it should read
VBOX_VIDEO-$(grep -e "^vbox" /proc/modules || true)
It'd also be useful to change the modes available as well, using the
same that are already written in for QEMU. I've changed on my system the
line
if [ -n "$QEMU_KVM" ]; then
to
if [ -n "$QEMU_KVM" ] || [ -n "$VBOX_VIDEO" ]; then
and added an additional "1280x1024" mode so I can use it full screen on
my desktop.
Thanks for putting in the previous changes! This is my first
contribution to Ubuntu, and it was cool to see it changed so quickly.
