How to install xorg inside virtualbox guest?

Question

I am fairly new to Arch linux so I want to install it inside a VM first before replacing my current Linux installation.

I've successfully installed base, base-devel & grub packages inside a virtualbox vm. I can successfully login to the newly installed system.

I am a bit confused as I cannot get the xorg working.
I've installed the following packages:

#pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils mesa
#pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm

I have selected all the default selection for driver choice.
Following is the error log when I run startx:

Here is the log: /var/log/Xorg.0.log: Is there any specific package which I need to install in order to successfully startx inside a virtualbox guest VM?

Solution

Install the full xorg, plus virtualbox support (you might have to reboot after that):
pacman -S xorg virtualbox-guest-utils
If you really want to use startx you need either to change your ~/.xinitrc to start blackbox or install ugly old twm instead.

did you try this method from Arch Linux wiki?

Thanks for your answer. Installing virtualbox-guest-utils fixed the problem for me, however, my situation was a little different from OPs -- I'd run systemctl enable lxdm.service. Because I lacked the guest package, I saw a grainy, blue screen with no indication of the real problem.
