[SOLVED] Cannot start X in VirtualBox

I have ArchLinux installed in VirtualBox.

• I have installed virtualbox-guest-utils

• I launch

  modprobe vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo

• I have not installed any xf86-video* drivers

• I don't have anything in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

• I have

  exec openbox-session

  in my .xinitrc

  When I launch

  startx

  as root my system hangs.

  
  

  Here is a screenshot of VirtualBox at this moment http://imagebin.ca/v/1qLN731oPtiG

  Here  is a Xorg.log http://snipurl.com/29o5g0h

  Next I have installed xf86-video-vesa.  The system now hangs as before, but Xorg.log slighty changed http://snipurl.com/29o5jqb

  How can I launch X on my virtual machine ?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot start X in VirtualBox

I have 3 files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d:

• 10-evdev.conf

• 10-quirks.conf

• nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf

I was tryied to move it temporary, but the system hangs anymore.
