VNC not working on Linux guest (VBoxVideo(0): VNC disabled)

Hallo, I have a problem which is getting me crazy, I have a SLEPOS machine which had a working VNC server but after installing guest additions and hours of researches (Google, forums, ecc.) I can't get the functionality back and Xorg.0.log says:

(II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
(II) VBoxVideo(0): Setting screen physical size to 211 x 158
(II) VBoxVideo(0): VNC disabled
(II) XKB: reuse xkmfile /tmp/server-603B05CD50433F04F64C7B12280B8D7BC10853E0.xkm

Seems like VirtualBox driver turns off VNC.

Has anyone experienced some similar issue?

Andrea

Must be a suse thing. I have various debian and rpm based distros and vnc works in them with guest additions.

I would post a ticket at bugtracker and see what the DEVs have to say.
