Hi,

i have some issue with Fedora 20, X under VirtualBox after upgrading Fedora 19 to fedora 20.
text console works (CTRL+ALT+5), however if i type startx i get a blank/black screen.

anybody has an idea where could be located the issue ?
could problem be solved if i installed nvidia drivers (as my host computer video card is a nvidia) ?

thx.

Did you try to re-install the Guest Additions?

Yes i did, even directly under text console and everything went well.. no failure

i have no xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory but under fedora 19 it was already the case, so nothing special here.

i just do not understand.
