Hi
I’m having some weird problem with openSUSE 11.4 on Virtual Box 4.1.8. I’ve been using openSUSE 11.4 x86 with Gnome desktop & Virtual Box for quire some time now without any problems. A little while ago, while running Virtual Box 4.1.4 I urgently needed some free space so I deleted the installation (bad move, I should have made a backup). Shortly after I tried to reinstall and everything went OK 'till it reached the first boot after installation where it hangs with a black screen and a loading cursor. That sounded like a VGA problem to me and it was. I keep 3D acceleration enabled and I even (used to keep Compiz Fusion on). Now I know it’s not something you expect from a virtual machine but it keeps everything smooth. Now I was able to boot & login after I disabled the 3D acceleration but everything works as if I installed some ancient OS on a modern system: cursor leaves trials behind it and windows & apps image remains “printed” on the desktop or on top of other windows. Any ideas ow to get 3D back?
BTW, I never had enough time to dig into Linux too much so I guess I am kinda newbie.
Generally you need to install the addon drivers again if you change VBox version. Did you do that??
Done that, even if I never had to do it before since it worked out of the box. But it didn’t work.
