Installation of Arch (64) in VirtualBox, issues with Xorg

Hi friends,

I want to install Arch (64) in VirtualBox, recent versions both.
I did the main installation procedure.
But now I want to install X.
I did "pacman -S xorg", and "Xorg -configure", and copied the newly created xorg-file to /etc/X11. It correctly recognizes "vboxvideo" as the video driver.

Now the problem is this: the first time I do "xinit", it works, but after exiting, and commanding "xinit" again, I get a blank screen and a freeze.

After exiting X the first time, it tells me about problems with DRI and DRM.

(Sorry I can't insert the files here at the moment, because I don't have the Guest Additions installed yet.)

Hope to hear from you,
Daniel
