Hello, I wanted to install Elementary OS Freya 0.3.2 in VirtualBox 5.0.16. As 
the UI was much less fluent as it was in previous version (Luna) even after VB 
additions installation from VB provided CD, I have searched for solution and 
found this bug report and discussion.
What I did:
1. clean OS installation
2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/virtualbox-ppa
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms-lts-vivid (also 
virtualbox-guest-utils-lts-vivid and virtualbox-guest-x11-lts-vivid were 
installed automatically)
5. reboot
6. After the reboot, resolution is changed to a high one but UI is still choppy
7. In "Additional drivers" after I switch "VirtualBoxGraphics Adapter" to 
"Using x86 virtualization solution - X11 guest utilities from 
virtualbox-guest-x11 (open source)" and click on "Apply Changes", the progress 
bar appears for a few seconds and then it switches back to "Do not use this 
device"
8. I have started cmd utility ubuntu-drivers and it prints following error:
janko@System360:~$ sudo ubuntu-drivers debug
[sudo] password for janko: 
=== log messages from detection ===
DEBUG:root:Driver package virtualbox-guest-x11-lts-vivid is incompatible with 
current X.org server ABI xorg-video-abi-15
DEBUG:root:Driver package virtualbox-guest-x11-lts-wily is incompatible with 
current X.org server ABI xorg-video-abi-15
...
...
What should I do to force it to use *lts-vivid driver? Will it help with choppy 
graphics (resolution is already ok)?
Thank you very much.
