I think I was able to pull it up but it was blank. I did 'cd /etc/X11/' and 'vi view xorg.conf'

Hi Ben. Where are you at with this? I'm experiencing similar problems. Suse runs fine until I install the GA and then everything goes to hell. I don't really want to go back to VMware workstation. Thanks.

Oops, I forgot to add my solution.

As it turns out, my VirtualBox installation was out of date and I was missing a package :S

To get it working try doing what I did
  • Download and install the latest version of VirtualBox
    Download and install VirtualBox 4.0.2 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
    Install Guest additions
