VirtualBox 5.1.38. Slackware 14.2 64-bit host. Fully updated CentOS 7 guest.
Since the release of the 3.10.0-862* kernels I am unable to use a screen resolution greater than the defaults. The 5.1.38 GA build fine on the 3.10.0-693* kernels.
The VirtualBox GA installer runs fine without apparent errors, but the vboxvideo kernel module always fails to compile. The other modules build fine.
The only clue is in the install log:
Code:
/tmp/vbox.0/vbox_fb.c:86:31: error: ‘struct drm_framebuffer’ has no member named ‘bits_per_pixel’
I have surfed the web looking for ideas.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.
Edit: I found some VirtualBox tickets addressing the issue and some VirtualBox forum discussions that seem to imply the problem is resolved.
