Guest additions do not work in Fedora 10

I successfully installed guest additions in Fedora 10 (host is Win XP Pro with SP3). However, when I resize the window with the guest or try full screen, the guest screen does not change its dimensions (it does not follow the host window resizing). Also, the mouse integration shows some strange things too - the mouse pointer of the guest is overlapped by the one of the host.
What can I try to get rid of these problems? (everything works well in Kubuntu 8.04 and OpenSUSE 11.0).

Check the differences between the two (or three) Guests' xorg.conf file. It's likely that on your Fedora Guest, there is no vboxvideo driver set. Make sure that you don't run a beta or RC version of xserver-xorg, the video driver won't install if you do.

Thank you for your suggestions. I found out that xorg.conf is not created in Fedora 10 by default, so I tried to follow some of the googled advice:
su
yum install system-config-display
system-config-display --reconfig
This produced some warnings and I had some problems to start Fedora after restarting the guest, but I accidentally succeeded (I am completely new to Linux), xorg.conf is now present in /etc/X11 and the guest window is now resizing correctly and full screen works as well.
