Looks a misconfiguration of the graphic server

the drakx11 --auto select one of the drivers for VM but after reboot
the boot process stuck in hardware detection

Reboot in recovery mode and set modesetings (and check for start graphic server)

It works

José: please say what the host system is; and the version of ? virtualbox (or whatever).

The host system is mageia 9 x86_64
The guest (where the fail is produced) is mageia 10 x86_64 alpha1, the virtualization software used is gnome-boxes

Works in real installation, I not test other installation in the VM, perhaps when new ISOs arrive

Still valid

This test is with the i686 image

xorg.conf file

Remove xorg.conf make it work too

And look like also load modesetting as driver

But with mga9 as guest it was correctly starting or was already broken with with the qxl DDX driver?

It works
Fresh Instaled VM Mageia 9 LxQt 64b

And if I remember well after a upgrade to cauldron the system still working (soma packages not was replaced but I manually did and still not issues) :S

I will upgrade again the 64b VM to check what happen

This is Valid for Mageia 10 64b LXDE + lxdm under gnome-boxes

Looks like the bulletproof solution is boot in recovery mode and set modeseting as
driver.

Or perhaps Guiseppe you could suggest a kernel option to force the use of modeseting? use drakx11 in text mode is not for everyone.

IMHO we have to figure out why the DDX qxl (btw, there is also an upgrade) driver is not working anymore, since the "emulated" hardware is not changed. You said also that in mga9 with the newer 6.12.x or 6.18.x series it's working as well as with mga9 updated to mga10. So maybe it's just some missed package?

Regarding options, when there was no /etc/X11/xorg.conf and X starting was based on autoselect, I remember there was the boot cmdline option xdriver=..., as documented here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_set_up_kernel_options. This is not a native kernel option, but rather an option that it's passed to userspace for later interpretation by the startup scripts.

The test is with kernel 6.6.116 in the host, I not think that switch to backport kernel change something, but I'll try whe can.

Also in the guest the test is with 6.12, need to test with 6.18

I'm referring to guest's libs/kernel, not host one.

Today I update the lxde VM not see qxl package in the updates

rpm -qa|grep qxl
x11-driver-video-qxl-0.1.6-5.mga10

So that is tested with 6.12 kernel

Install kernel-stable-testing-destop + the equivalent userspace-headers
run drakx11 --auto
check it use qxl driver
reboot

No luck

Remove xorg.conf for the moment works with 6.12 and stable-testing
But that is a few random in comment#11 time did not work 

So can't be sure if xdriver= is a good bullet-proof solution

So other recommendations could be for gnome-boxes VM set modestting:

1. in the Summary screen in clean installations
2. while you are in graphic mode before start the upgrade process

The initial workaround was to remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and boot adding xdriver=modesetting to the boot grub cmdline.

Anyway, now try with x11-driver-video-qxl-0.1.6-6.mga10

That works randomly, in 1st test that cause the report not work and have to set modesetting with drakx11
