rawhide (f17) and VirtualBox 4.1.4 not meshing

[Gregory Woodbury]

I installed F16 (with updates) on a VBox instance (4.1.4) with VBox 
Guest Additions.

All works well under F17 in GNOME Fallback mode.

I then upgraded to rawhide(F17) via yum distro-sync.

The system boots and I can get into text consoles, but the graphical 
login fails to start.
Mostly due to 4.1.4 being X version 11 and rawhide being X version 12.

In this case I may upgrade to VBox 4.1.6 and see what happens.  My 
kittens are
suffering from rawhide intoxication. :-)

AFAIK VBox only supports X server 11. You'll have to poke the VBox 
developers to see if there's an additions build that supports version 
12. This list can't help you.

Or use kvm instead of VBox, since that is a virtualization technology
that IS supported by Fedora.

Of course, if you try and run a default Rawhide install in
virt-manager/KVM right now, it will explode approximately every three
seconds. Still waiting for the fix for that one...
