Hello everbody,
this has been driving me crazy for days now. I have the latest VirtualBox installed with the latest Guest additions. I have the latest ArchLinux running and have followed the Beginners Guide. I installed X server and then installed the Linux Guest Additions. Then I noticed that X server is trying to load vboxvideo_dri.so instead of vboxvideo_drv.so so I followed some guide on the Internet and made a softlink to /usr/lib/VBoxOGL.so and it seemed to fix that problem.
Now I am getting:
AIGLX: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extensions
Everything works fine (I am writing this from the guest archlinux OS) except that I would really like hardware acceleration so things would run smoother.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

I think hardware acceleration is not working 100% in VirtualBox and you must first set your virtual machine to use 3D acceleration from the options.

Agree with twilight0
I also encounter a strange case in the past two days.
Yesterday
Must enable "3D acceleration" to get Xorg installed without error. vm(xfce4) can be maximize to fill my 19" LCD.
Today
After pacman -Syu, kernel updated, re-run vbox addition. vm retain at 800x600 with thick black broder
un-click "3D acceleration" during reboot. vm(xfce4) can be maximize to fill my 19" LCD again ^^!!
btw, i don't need 3D in vm. any way to just get rid of it?
EDIT:
really strange
the effect of setting on/off 3D just get reversed.

I have the same problem as OP, any solution to this? bug in Virtualbox or who to blame?

guys, just use the guest additions available for guest arch systems from community.
pacman -S virtualbox-guest-additions
they should work out of the box, heck i only do pacman -S xorg-server gnome virtualbox-guest-additions and boot directly into gnome-shell
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I did re-install Arch with your method but it's the same error.
I don't know if it's because i am running Win7 64-bits and Arch 32-bits as guest in Virtualbox?
