Hello,
I had the same problem some days ago. The problem is not Virtualbox,
it's the ati/radeonhd video driver. nox@ gave me a little hint how to
work arround: Just set the environment variable XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS
to 1 before starting Virtualbox. With that variable set it should work.

Ciao,
Yamagi
