Hi,
I am installing Arch Linux on Virtual Box. I need small help.
I have followed http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process this guide.
I am done with basic install (till audio). Now I want to install video driver.
lspci | grep VGA in my Arch installation (Virtual Box) gives me
VGA compatible controller InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
On my Ubuntu (Host), I get
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
When I do pacman -Ss xf86-video | less , I do not see both the drivers in list.
Now my question is which driver I choose for Virtual Box and which Driver should I choose when finally I am going to install Arch Linux as seperate OS ( Not on Virtual Box but standalone).
Once I get familiar with Installation on Virtual Box, I am going to install Arch for triple boot (Windows XP, Ubuntu and Arch Linux ).
Note that I want to install GNOME 3 shell afterwards.
Thank you.

First you need to follow these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … ns_package
then proceed here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ptional.29
You can't use the drivers for the Intel card in the guest OS, if you have enabled all this you still should be able to run Gnome3 Shell.

Do I need install Guest Addition before I choose my video driver?

You need to install the guest additions like the link I provided says, you won't actually be installing a video driver you just need to make sure those modules are loaded.
