I have Rawhide running in VirtualBox.  For the last few weeks, at the
time X starts, the screen goes black, and I am unable to get a login
prompt, even in a VT.  This forces me to do updates each day in rescue
mode, hoping the problem would go away eventually.  I'm currently using
VB 3.0.0 but the problem started while using 2.2.4 (but the problem
started with some Rawhide update, not a VB one).  Currently everything
appears normal in Rawhide right up to the time X starts, and I can do an
ACPI shutdown from VB, so the OS is responsive, even though the screen
is black.  Any ideas what's wrong?
