Bug Description

Hi,

Since 4.3.6-dfsg-1, the vboxvideo_drv Xorg module doesn't load anymore; I get in my Xorg log:
vboxvideo_drv.so: undefined symbol: vgaHWFreeHWRec

(See full logs for details)

Downgrading virtualbox-guest-utils and -guest-x11 to 4.3.2-dfsg-1ubuntu2 fixes loading.

The libvgahw.so module should be providing these symbols, and it should be loaded by vbox_video on startup; I don't know why that's not occurring anymore.

Cheers,
