Just curious....(and understand I have NO "super genius" skills like the 99% of people on this mailing list...I'm just actually....naturally curious) but what about "resolution" settings?....I know I once tried to get an instance of Virtual box running...and I kept getting a blank screen...and it was somehow?....the resolution that was "proposed" as opposed to what it "really" was that was causing an issue.....just throwing this out there. It probably doesn't factor into your situation...
