I'm trying to properly install virtualbox guest additions to a guest linux Debian virtual machine. The problem is that video performance, at 1920x1080 is crap. The host is a macOS core i5 with a radeon R9 M395.

I've installed all virtualbox-guest packages: virtualbox-guest-x11 virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-addittions

After looking inside /var/log/Xorg.0.log it seems that vboxvideo module is not loading.

$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
...
[    15.387] (II) LoadModule: "vboxvideo"
[    15.388] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vboxvideo
[    15.388] (II) UnloadModule: "vboxvideo"
[    15.388] (II) Unloading vboxvideo
[    15.388] (EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module does not exist, 0)
...

$ dkms stat
virtualbox-guest, 5.1.12, 4.8.0-2-amd64, x86_64: installed
$ uname -r

$ lsmod| grep vbox
vboxsf                 49152  0

vboxguest             282624  6 vboxsf,vboxvideo

drm                   360448  5 vboxvideo,ttm,drm_kms_helper

What's happening?

Where shall be locatedcould I locate vboxvideo module? What is the filename?

Where shall I look next?
