HI
I've had this issue in a Virtualbox upgrade for one of my boxes. The problem
was that the Xorg driver, for this particular "display driver" wasnt updated /
installed by distupgrade. So i installed th virtualbox-ose-guest-utils and
since this point it was all smooth sailing.
See if that ( Xorg Display Driver) is your issue and see if you have installed
the matching driver for your box.
Cheers ,
Andreas Marschke.
