Anvil: panic in VirtualBox #1098

Open unia909 opened 1 year ago

unia909 commented 1 year ago

I was building anvil with features udev and xwayland on my linux host. When I run the resulting executable in a virtual box, I get the error Failed to create drm compositor: Failed to export the allocated buffer as dmabuf: Buffer returned invalid file descriptor

The virtual box graphics device doesn't provide a render node, which anvil currently requires. We can leave this issue open for tracking this problem, but I am not sure somebody wants to work on fixing this. I am happy to mentor someone giving it a try though.
