Description of problem:

I installed mageia 5.1 KDE4 live. installed all updates and then did a command line urpmi upgrade to 6 x86-64, inside a vbox VM and this resulted in non starting DM and screen flicker in Ctrl+alt+f2 and other virtual consoles. I used  this mirror - http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/mageia/distrib/6/x86_64/ .

I should also note that startx currently fails.

A few more discoveries:

1. The vbox guest additions CD exhibits the same problem.

2. Upgrading all packages to updates-testing and rebooting does not fix the problem either.

3. A different VM with mageia 6 x86-64 installed from 6 runs X fine.

mageia 5 was EOLed.
