1) in any any linux if there's no video.. we can = use vesa.. or fbdev.. that's basic
2) alpine just packaged th= e software.. does not modify as ncopa comment me in gitlab.alipnelinux org = so use xfce4 instructions also
3) that wiki page are just hints a= nd tips to finish setup, due the (2) you must setup as any basic linux, so = check xfce4 documentation
4) on your laptop the ideal video M= ODULE is that trademark indicates.. most used are ADM/ATI, Nvidia or intel = in nomadays, use "lspci -v" command=C2=A0 and check for video or = similar
5) for virtualbox seems you try to install a communit= y package.. update fresh repos to get and check fresh list of available pac= kage.. use correct repos
6) i guess we need basic to setup pr= operty alpine or any linux, is faster and powered but also need same from u= s, for (5), (4), (3), you must read and digest as pre-requisite: https://wiki= .alpinelinux.org/wiki/Alpine_newbie_apk_packages=C2=A0 .. so we must al= ways read a lot before involved in anything

Hi,

Wanted to setup Alpine 3.12 on an Oracl= e Virtualbox 6 VM, with XFCE (or LXDE if I could find clean instructions), = with the aim to test-drive the setup before attempting to do same on a 8yr = old dual-core Pentium + 2GB RAM based laptop to make it more useful.
<= div>
I've been following the instructions to setup XFCE h= ere: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Xfce_Setup and get to the point = of installing video driver, but unable to find the video drivers for Virtua= lbox i.e. 'xf86-video-vboxvideo', since it is not found in main (no= t expected anyway) or community (expected to find it here). Error shown: https://imgur.com/jDbOqKA

<= /div>
Even on t= he real laptop where I plan to install this, how should I figure out what i= s the ideal video driver ?

Also, I am trying to virtualbox guest addit= ions following instructions here: https://wiki.alpinelinux.= org/wiki/VirtualBox_guest_additions but then don't find the package= s and throws the errors shown here: ht= tps://imgur.com/5k5oveJ

Any ideas if there's a = way to progress on both of those points ? Is it that community no longer pr= oduces those packages and they are indeed missing ?

cheers,
B
