Hello friends,
I have problems with xorg-1.8.0 (Fedora 13 devel) and vboxvideo-3.1.6.
When I install Additions of VBox-3.1.6, I get the following output:
"unknown version of X-Windows-System".
What can I do? Waiting for the next version of VirtualBox?
Thanks for help.
Manfred

Waiting is a good idea.
Alpha and Beta Versions are not supported. They may work, but often not.

We want to test the F13 in VirtualBox but can not do it fully.

I'll assume you're a developer if you want to test an unstable version. Maybe, you'd want to consider looking at the guest additions code and altering it to fit your needs, since VirtualBox is OpenSource.
The thing with unstable releases is, well, they are unstable. Sometimes, you need to put a little (or a lot) of extra effort to get them to do everything you want.
On the up-side, once you work out a clean solution, it can benefit the entire opensource community using that software (in your case, users running FC13 on VirtualBox 3.1.x)
