[SOLVED] CentOS 6.7 guest in VBox 5.0.8 (Win 8.1 host)

Hi, I installed CentOS 6.7 x86_64 in VirtualBox 5.0.8 (Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit host) but, as many others here, I had problems building the OpenGL driver that comes with VB Guest Additions.

Re: [SOLVED] CentOS 6.7 guest in VBox 4.3.12 (Win 7 host)

I forgot to mention that I also had to execute the following steps before trying to install the Guest Additions:

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/include/uapi
# ln -s ../drm
And my kernel is 2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.x86_64.

Cheers.

Hey toracat, Is there any primus rpm available for centos? I've found a few but for other distros on http://rpm.pbone.net. I want to give it a try as people are saying it's faster than virtualgl because it doesn't do all the magic for communicating over a network (virtualgl was designed to work over...

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA Optimus + The Bumblebee Project
