I have a Linux guest (CentOS 5.5) and kickstart works great for getting it setup. However, when I'm all done, I have to manually run the VBoxAdditions.

"Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It seems that the pointer device (your mouse) is not set up correctly."And Xorg.0.log says:
