sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 1.6.4 Guest Additions for Linux installation.............................................................................................................................................................................
VirtualBox 1.6.4 Guest Additions installation

Yes. Forget the Fred Flintstone Release and use VirtualBox 2.10.

Unknown version of the X Window System installed.
The GA can't determine the version of your Xserver/Xorg install. Please make sure that you have a valid, final release of Xorg, and it's detectable.

Thanks to all.
Let me try the 2.10 version, and will be back.
