Hi,
i'm running siduction in Virtualbox 4.3.6 (Host Win7) and since some weeks, DU crashes the KDE-GFX, look here: https://mediacru.sh/6SjZaeCLr3kr (https://mediacru.sh/6SjZaeCLr3kr)
The stand-alone-apps like the terminal (see screenshot) looks normal, only KDE-menu and "integrated" programs like yakuake seems to be affected.
I've tried kernel 3.12 and 3.13, no change. Also i've rebooted and recompiled the VBoxLinuxAdditions every time i changed the kernel.
I can revert to a snapshot before the DU, so i can test from time to time if a DU is now safe... but the problem still exist. First occured to me aprox. 2 weeks ago.
The login-greeter (kdm) is absolute OK, no gfx-errors.
Some hints to analyse or solve the problem?
In Xorg.0.log i found:
[ 47.525] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so
[ 47.525] (EE) AIGLX error: vboxvideo does not export required DRI extension
[ 47.525] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

edit: well, as I saw too late, you have an ati card. so my idea does not apply

It's a VBox guest, so no ATI involved.

Did you try completely switching off KDE effects (ALT+Shift+F12 or systemsettings -> desktopeffects) ?
Some KDE-update seemed to choose a higher OpenGL-Version then some graphics card can handle, if KDE works without effects then look at systemsettings - desktopeffects - advanced (3rd tab) - Composit type and choose the lowest possible OpenGL from the dropdown or use XRender instead.
Second, how do you get your guestadditions, via apt-get install virtualbox-guest-$foo or from the Iso-CD via the hostsystem? If from the host, you could try a newer one from https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.7-92075.iso, provided by Oracle to reflect the latest Xorg-Transitions to Ver. 1.15
I have the same two lines with (EE) in my Xorg.0.log you posted above, and my guest is working, so I guess them informational atm (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/4789)

Hello Spike_de,
i just dist-upgraded my Firestarteter-KDE-amd64 in Vbox 4.3.6 without any problems.
No artifacts and a clean desktop. 3D Acceleration is still fine in KDE and glxgears.
Did you assign enough Video-RAM and did you enable 3D-Mode in your vm-settings?
greetings

it changes a bit, but does not solve the problem.
i've installed VirtualBox and the guest-additions directly from oracle, not via apt.

a towo said, it's a VM, i don't know where the ATI-line in the log-file comes from...

will try imediately, thx!

the problem only occurs with QT-Applikations, GTK-Applikations works fine (at least i assume that).
Firefox: ok
Progres-Bar from Downloads in Firefox: fail (maybe kde-integrated?)
Konsole: fail
xterm: ok
thunderbird: ok
yakuake: fail
desktop/menu: fail
