[Andreas Pokorny <andreas.pokorny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apart from the strange errno in the logs above.. to allow mir to run on
vbox we need to add page flipping and the default implementation of
prime to the vbox drm driver:

http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/

page flipping has been adde here:

https://github.com/xknight/vboxvideo

That plus mesa 10.3 and mir should work. Maybe there is also a way to
use the virtualbox GL implementation?
