Since I'm afraid of putting TW on a production machine I decided to try it in VirtualBox for quite some time (I reported issues earlier) and I can only say that still every other TW update will leave my VirtualBox TW installation unusable. Usually no X coming up anymore.
I wonder how much of that is related to Virtualbox though. I already added virtualbox to the staging projects so we make sure it always builds, but we don't test it at all.
As my google mojo fails me to find a way to run VB inside qemu VMs, an option is to revive the VB backend of openQA - or run VB tests on IMPI servers.
Xorg is immediately dying with a segfault with current TW version using vboxvideo for me. And yes, it might very well be an issue in the VBox version but the end result is: unusable (unfortunately)
I'm running tumbleweed on virtualbox for the same reason for a while. X runs quite accurate here.

Perhaps you misunderstood. In VB, during the initial installation the Yast installer does not stay with the familiar gui. It switches to Yast ncurses. It looks like X server segfaults as Yast is about to start. I can see the Yast notifying me that it is starting up. Under normal circumstances I should be seeing the regular gui as in VmWare. Once the installation finishes and restarts X is working. My card is a GeForce 8600 GTS. When installing on a real partition everything is normal just like in openSUSE 13.2. I remember when the earlier isos were released. You know the ones that used to have the factory repos. Some time between March and April, X started behaving strangely during the initial set up, selection of packages and Grub2 of Tumbleweed in VirtualBox. I believe they are already looking into this. In the meantime, I'll stick with installing Tumbleweed on to real hardware. Cheers!
