Description
Hi, I'm having an issue when installing VBoxLinuxAddition-amd64. Black screen appears with a lightning underscore (but when I press ctrl-alt-f2 I can access the console). startx command tells me that VBox1 is available but no modes is set. I removed guestadditions so I can't reproduce the problem and post the Xorg.0.log.

Fatal server error: no screens found

It would indeed be helpful if you could attach (not copy and paste :) ) Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf from the guest to this ticket.

Guest Additions for standard kernel Fedora 12 (both i686 and x64) work perfectly.

tcharl: how much video RAM did you allocate to the guest? If it is less than 12MB, could you try increasing it?

Hi,
I solved my issue,
- Installing system-config-display
yum install system-config-display }}} * running the command {{{ system-config-display }}} * Choosing custom display settings and configuring video card driver with the vendor one. Cheers, }}}

I have reproduced this and fixed it locally. It is a result of the guest screen size sanity check not quite working as it should and rejecting the saved screen size from the last session.
