When I try to do an RC4 graphical install (either i386 or x86_64 DVD,
and choosing either the default or the basic video driver on the initial
install screen) as a VirtualBox 3.1.4 guest, shortly after printing the line

Running anaconda 13.32, the Fedora system installer - please wait.

it then prints the time and the message

X startup failed, falling back to text mode

and starts the text-based installer (and a text-based install completes
successfully).  Is this a known problem, and should it be reported in
the RC4 test matrix?  Right now there are no failure reports under
QA:Testcase Anaconda User Interface Graphical.
