The 'advanced graphics' video feature in Virtualbox seldom works in 
Rawhide and the current 'branched' package (currently Fedora 16) because 
Virtualbox does not support alpha/beta/non-release versions of Xorg.

This has gotten worse since it was decided to kill system-config-display 
and make monitor recognition and resolution into 'plug-n-pray'.
