[SOLVED] Not able to start X on Virtual Box.

Hi,

I have Virtual Box on Arch Linux Host.

I am trying to install Arch Linux linux Guest in this virtual box.

I am done with basic setup on guest.

I am trying to start X on guest installed on virtual box.

I get following error when I type startx

Using config directory: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d"
AIGLX error: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extension
AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Re: [SOLVED] Not able to start X on Virtual Box.

Have you installed xterm, twm, xclock etc.?
Have you read the wiki on how to setup Arch Linux linux Guest in virtual box?

This bit would suggest you need to revisit Beginners Guide:Testing X.
