To clarify the issue: this is not a patch for illumos (that is text-mode only),
but a way for any illumos-based desktop environment, or any solaris based desktop env, using
X11 libraries higher then the ones Oracle considers (up to 1.12 for Solaris 11).
In an env with X11 1.13 or higher the additions installer, not containing the video driver compiled
for that x11, will fail.
For other OS like Linux, there is code considering up to 1.15.
I believe the dev guys knows already about this, and update the necessary files for their
known X11 release (on Solaris).
Anyway, now I know how to have video drivers for my own X11 release on XStream Desktop.
Thanx!
Gabriele.

Oggetto: Re: [VBox-users] Solved: updated vboxvideo for illumos / solaris
There is a "VirtualBox OSE" section on the forums, where people can
put their 3rd party patches, such as my own "vbox-unattended".

In my opinion, if the patch is good, it should be integrated into VBox
proper (but not necessarily used).
FreeBSD additions source code are integrated upstream into VBox code
tree, but Oracle build don't provide the binaries, so perhaps
something similar could be done here.
Good idea Alexey!
Complements my thought: if the code is added, but for whatever reason Oracle
doesnt want the responsability and cost (support, fixes,etc) of providing
its own IllumOS builds, it'd be a nice gesture to at least link to those
third party builds,ie "some people build VBox for other platforms, here are
the links to those community builds..."
