Hello,
Im trying atleast a month install Arch in Oracle VM Virtualbox. I tried to use the Arch Linux beginners guide and the Arch Forums and use google but it didint help. I failed always in some point installing Nvidia Driver. I installed it but after i tryed to start openbox then i got error. I have tryed to configure nvida driver manually (or maybe it was X, tutorial was in arch wiki) but it didint work. My graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 9500M (GF 9400MG + GF 9200MGS) (in dell studio xps 13). I have installed xorg, mesa and nvidia (pacman -S nvidia).
My question is next:
When i open startx: it says
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (....) No such device
(EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module...
(EE) NVIDIA: system kernel log or additional error messages.
(EE) Failed to load module ''nvidia'' (module-specific error, 0=
(EE) No drivers avilable
Fatal server error:
no screens found
....
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such provess (errno 3): Server error.
---
Im out of ideas, i understand that the Nvidia driver is installed but it dont work or what?
(Im sorry for my bad english).
Thanks.

In Virtualbox, you don't dont have an nVidia graphics card. You have a virtualized graphics card provided by the VM.

I think VirtualBox doesn't yet support xorg-server 1.8.

So what driver I should install? Or I should try run Arch in Virtual PC or VM Ware maybe?

I havent read that text before but I tried to install guest additions before, but failed when I tried to mount cdrom. I tried install guest additions from that page, when i tryed to mount it said: mount: cant find /media/cdrom/ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab.

Maybe insert
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
into /etc/fstab then or create the needed folder by hand.

Ok, i did install guest additions and removed Nvidia package, but when i startx then still it gives the same errors, (like nvidia not found etc).
