<p>Ahigg: Added steps to enable VirtualBox DRM client for X11 to support display auto-resizing.</p>
<hr />
<div>{{todo|Need to update this article. I think the virtualbox-guest-modules-virt package has been obsoleted by linux-virt on 3.11 and later}}<br />
<br />
=How to install VirtualBox guest additions=<br />
<br />
== For Alpine Linux Version 3.10 ==<br />
<br />
# enable edge/community package<br />
# install {{Cmd|apk add virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-guest-modules-virt}}<br />
To enable X11 display auto-resizing:<br />
{{Cmd|apk add virtualbox-guest-additions-x11<br />
rc-update add virtualbox-drm-client default}}<br />
<br />
== For older versions ==<br />
<br />
First install [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/testing/x86/virtualbox-additions-grsec virtualbox-additions-grsec]: <br />
<br />
{{Cmd|apk add virtualbox-additions-grsec}}<br />
<br />
The following error may occur:<br />
<br />
{{Cmd|ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:<br />
virtualbox-additions-grsec (missing):<br />
required by: world[virtualbox-additions-grsec]}}<br />
<br />
If the error occurs, then you need to enable the alpine testing repo:<br />
<br />
{{Cmd|echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories}}<br />
<br />
Then update respository indexes from all remote repositories, and install <code>virtualbox-additions-grsec</code><br />
<br />
{{Cmd|apk update<br />
apk add virtualbox-additions-grsec}}<br />
<br />
Then add <code>vboxpci</code>,<code>vboxdrv</code>, and <code>vboxnetflt</code> to <code>/etc/modules</code>:<br />
<br />
{{Cmd|echo vboxpci >> /etc/modules<br />
echo vboxdrv >> /etc/modules<br />
echo vboxnetflt >> /etc/modules}}<br />
<br />
And reboot to put these changes into effect.<br />
