Subject: virtualbox-guest-dkms: virtualbox drm driver fails to auto-load

Date: Sat, 08 Sep 2012 15:12:11 +1000

Package: virtualbox-guest-dkms
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1ubuntu1
Severity: normal

Under Xorg 1.13, the virtualbox drm driver fails to auto-load unless its explicitly added to /etc/modules. This is due to it missing modalias, therefore udev doesnt know which driver to load.

I have attached a trivial patch, which fixes this issue at the following address
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1039157/comments/33
