Since Rawhide is a testing and 'work in progress' system the version of Xorg is 'experimental'. Virtualbox does not usually support 'experimental' software. It changes to quickly. The same/a similar problem occurred, IIRC, with the Rawhide that is now Fedora 11 during the switch from Xorg 1.5 to Xorg 1.6. Do as Adam suggested and use the vesa video driver to get your GUI. BTW the Virtualbox mouse driver will not work either. If you use the mouse inside the virtual machine it will be 'stuck' there and you will have to release it to get it back to your desktop. -- David -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
