[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#686994: virtualbox-guest-dkms: virtualbox drm driver fails to auto-load

[Tim Lunn]

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
