Hi All,

Everyone was right. It was my video driver. Fedora 12 does
not recognize it. The real video drive does not get installed
until you have a chance to install the Virtual Box Guest
Additions.

The workaround is to use the second options on the "Welcome to
Fedora!" menu that uses the basic video driver. (One of the
guys over on the Fedora Forum pointed this out to me.)

I appreciate everyone's help!
