Hi

I'm doing something wrong here, but I'm not sure what.
I ran pkg update to (presumably) get the new xorg package.
Then I did a pkgrm SUNWvboxguest and rebooted
Then tried to do a reinstall from the autorun prompt -and got the usual 
error about the xorg libraries.

I checked the xorg log and didn't find any autoconfiguration lines.

This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf (autoconfigured when I chose the vesa 
option to start the installer dvd/iso);
root at virtdiana:/var/log# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Card0"
         Driver      "vesa"
EndSection

...that's it. I ran "pkg search vb" to try to find the driver you're 
talking about, but nothing came up.
