198	Problem in installing the Linux guest additions	mwhidby		"There is a problem in installing the Linux guest additions, specifically the X window drivers, when /tmp is on its own filesystem. The install procedure uses a script called x11config.pl which uses the 'rename' function. However, the rename function does not work across filesystem boundaries with the result that the newly modified X configuration file is left in /tmp (called xorg.conf) and is not updated in its original location. Since the original X configurstion file has been renamed to a backup copy at this point, X will not start up after the machine is rebooted. A workaround is just to manually copy the file to its correct location after the install has completed. 

This is on a guest system running Scientific Linux 4.4 but will probably manifest itself on any Linux guest."	defect	closed	other	VirtualBox 1.3.6	fixed	/tmp xorg.conf x11config.pl		other	other
