Black screen after Gnome/GDM login (installed on VirtualBox)

When I login with GDM, I get a black screen which I have to exit out of back to terminal.

This is a archlinux install on VirtualBox on 17" retina macbook pro. Guest additions have been added.

When I run startx it fails:

 xinit: connect to X server lost

This is the output of logs:

 tail -n 1000 /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

(EE) Failed to load module "modesetting"
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev"
(EE) AIGLX error: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extension
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering 

Am I missing something?
