Bug Description

I installed Linux Mint "Felicia" inside a Virtual Box VM running on my Mandriva Cooker-based P4. Then I did "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" and then installed the following package:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/misc/virtualbox-ose-guest-utils

With the attached VBox set as /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I'm getting a "Non matching ABI" (or something like that) error when trying to start X11, and it reverts to the non-vboxvideo driver.

I tried to recompile and re-install the relevant virtualbox package, but I got the same problem.

On an Ubuntu 9.04 RC VBox VM, the -vboxvideo driver works perfectly after installing the relevant package.

Regards,

don't use a package for hardy, felicia is based on intrepid. Using the ordinary vbox guest additions installer works fine.
