  • I appreciate your help a lot. I think I've a hell mix of problems. I've started using virtualbox on mac, and the poor graphics performance has mixed with that xorg output that seems buggy (your suspicion is mine too). Commented Jan 11, 2017 at 9:16
  • I've done a lot of vbox linux support in the past, so your post prompted me to check the stuff. I can tell you for sure my vbox install reports, like yours, failure to load the vboxvideo module, but that is an xorg error, NOT a vbox error. But the tests I suggest will show this. Note of course if the host video has issues, vbox video in the guest would not be able to resolve those. I'd actually not looked into enabling wide screen guest support, so that was a nice learning thing for me. But that's how you can tell if your video is working, try getting it larger than default 1024/1280 widths. Commented Jan 12, 2017 at 0:35
