Create and add the following to the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the F13 guest

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
	Identifier "VBoxVideo"
	Driver "vboxvideo"
EndSection

Boot to the install cd/dvd or iso and select recover. Follow the prompts to shell and edit or remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf. then reboot.
I had this problem before the final release of VBox 3.2.0 and the mentioned file fixed my systems. Perhaps you should look into upgrading to 3.2.0 if you are not using this release as they provided a fix for Fedora 13.
