Setting up Arch's i3 desktop in VBox..

alright, it is a bit miserable..

first install i3.. and xorg-init.. of course xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils, xorg-server-x11.. and some pkts I donot remember..

then modify ~/.xinitrc , chmod a+rw ~/.Xauthority

• shouldnot use the .xinitrc given in /etc/X11/xinit/.xinitrc or whatever else.. use the empty file might work, just add exec i3.. done
• or maybe .. the following setting ..

  #! /bin/sh
  userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
  usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
  sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
  sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
  exec i3

no use at all..

because Vbox needs dkms..

install it by pacman -Syy virtualbox-guest-utils..

and of course that is not all..

instsall the newest linux headers by pacman..

..
