You could see if there's a command you can use to try and force the latest VirtualBox driver to be installed, or just live with vesa...as long as the driver's getting installed as part of VirtualBox and Rawhide is happily updating to screamingly bleeding-edge X.org releases, this kind of snafu is likely going to happen a bit frequently. The vesa driver may be a tad slower, but it will at least be pretty reliable. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
