Bug Description

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose-guest-x11

Both with VirtualBox OSE guest additions and with the non-free ones shipping with VirtualBox, xserver-xephyr doesn't work, but fail with an assert:

$ Xephyr :2
Xephyr: ../../../../include/privates.h:122: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed.

First I thought the problem was with Xephyr itself, but it seems to work fine natively and also in VirtualBox when there is no guest additions installed.

I also tried it with AMD64 Maverick, and it behaves the same - works without guest additions, but doesn't work with them.

With Lucid it works, both with Ubuntu and Oracle Guest Additions.

Any news on that ? We're having troubles with some glx extensions under Xephyr with VirtualBox Guest additions turned on.
