GL libraries not detected and none ending process.

Hi, Windows guest is unable to start with 3D acceleration enabled. Having only 2D enabled results in Windows booting to a black screen.

First symptom: Starting virtualbox on the cli gets:

$ virtualbox
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Second symptom: Closing the GUI window does not always end the process (also experienced on a Windows host). CTRL-C has to be used.

Third symptom: Trying to start a VM with 3D acceleration gets the error:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine win10.
The VM session was aborted.
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {7844aa05-b02e-4cdd-a04f-ade4a762e6b7}

Downgrading to version 5.1.18 resolves all of the above.

I get the same results with the r600 driver:

Same here. It is not dependent by the guest as I have the very same problem with a Linux guest. It is also happening with dry run using modesetting drivers and with optirun using nvidia drivers.

I am using gentoo multilib Linux version 4.10.11-gentoo-ck-dvd (root@gentoo-seitan) (gcc version 5.4.0 (Gentoo 5.4.0-r3 p1.3, pie-0.6.5) ) #1 SMP Sat Apr 22 18:29:30 CEST 2017
