check kdm.log and X*.log - before you do the startx part.

Hm, it works for me in VMware. So, this could be bug of VirtualBox, not openSUSE. What do you think?
The only error I see is: (EE) No Input driver matching `vboxmouse' xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox-ose is part of the livecds, but possibly it's broken or it's config from sax is.
Broken vboxmouse module. (II) LoadModule: "vboxmouse" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//input/vboxmouse_drv.so dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//input/vboxmouse_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86errno (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//input/vboxmouse_drv.so (II) UnloadModule: "vboxmouse" (EE) Failed to load module "vboxmouse" (loader failed, 7)
still exists in Beta4
YFI openSUSE-11.1-Beta4-KDE-LiveCD-i686.iso works fine for me in VirtualBox 2.0.4 on openSUSE 11.0/i586
How can this be, Stephan? Could you attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
It can't load vboxmouse driver either (current bug title) but falls back successfully to standard mouse driver and starts KDE/GNOME (so original bug title does not apply). :-)

Still the driver is broken and needs to be fixed.
No objection. Only vboxmouse driver not working I wouldn't consider 'Critical' though. The opposite for the original title 'doesn't start at all'.
For the initial reporter Xserver terminates again immediately.

Martin, can we expect a fix for this until this friday, i.e. for SP1? Otherwise I'm going to change SaX2 so it won't make use of this driver any longer.
virtualbox-ose.changes ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Nov 5 14:36:56 CET 2008 - sndirsch@suse.de - use the appropriate driver version of vboxvideo/vboxmouse for openSUSE 11.1, 11.0, 10.3 and lower (bnc #374710, bnc #438590) So hopefully this issue is fixed now.
