yes, just VIDEO_CARDS="vesa" and INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse". and have you installed the vbox additions? i had trouble when emerge the vbox specific drivers from gentoo portage. so i just install the binary from the vbox iso. and the installation tool will install the vboxvideo for you. and the X -configure can find it. but i did not notice any advantage using the vboxvideo driver. the 'vesa' driver works very well even with compiz fusion. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/ http://meme.yahoo.com/davidshen84/
