Although this # would normally be the user's business, at least Fedora 9 still generates # a configuration file by default, so we have to rewrite it if we want # the additions to work on a default guest installation. So we simply go # through any configuration files we may find on the system and replace # references to VESA or framebuffer drivers (which might be autodetected # for use on a VirtualBox guest) and replace them with vboxvideo. use File::Copy; my $temp="/tmp/xorg.conf"; # The list of possible names of X.org configuration files my @cfg_files = ("/etc/X11/xorg.conf-4", "/etc/X11/xorg.conf", "/etc/X11/.xorg.conf", "/etc/xorg.conf", "/usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf-4", "/usr/etc/X11/xorg.conf", "/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf-4", "/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf"); my $CFG; my $TMP; # Subroutine to roll back after a partial installation sub do_fail { foreach $cfg (@cfg_files) { move $cfg.".vbox", $cfg; unlink $cfg.".vbox"; } die $1; } # Perform the substitution on any configuration file we may find. foreach $cfg (@cfg_files) { if (open(CFG, $cfg)) { open(TMP, ">$temp") or &do_fail("Can't create $TMP: $!\n"); while (defined ($line = )) { if ($line =~ /^\s*Section\s*"([a-zA-Z]+)"/i) { my $section = lc($1); if ($section eq "device") { $in_section = 1; } } else { if ($line =~ /^\s*EndSection/i) { $in_section = 0; } } if ($in_section) { if ($line =~ /^\s*driver\s+\"(fbdev|vga|vesa|vboxvideo|ChangeMe)\"/i) { $line =~ s/(fbdev|vga|vesa|vboxvideo|ChangeMe)/vboxvideo/i; } } print TMP $line; } close(TMP); # We do not overwrite existing $cfg.".vbox" files because that will # likely ruin any future attempts to uninstall the additions copy $cfg, $cfg.".bak"; if (! -e $cfg.".vbox") { rename $cfg, $cfg.".vbox"; } copy $temp, $cfg or &do_fail("Could not overwrite configuration file $cfg!
