Just finished to make a "zypper dup" from M1 to M2 (which are both

Everything went smooth and well, but after installing VirtualBox Guest
Additions 3.1.4, display-manager stopped to work and screen freezed on
dark.

What is now the X-configuration setup script that replaced Sax2?


Actually, I found that the vboxvideo kernel module in the 3.1.4 guest
additions causes an oops when Xorg tries to start. If you have a look in
/var/log/messages, you will be able to tell if that is what is happening.
I am investigating but for right now the workaround is to remove the
vboxvideo.ko file from /lib/modules so that it doesn't get loaded. The
rest of guest additions (mouse, resize) still works, only the 3d
acceleration is broken.

In the meantime can anyone else corroborate my findings?

Regards,
Tejas
