Hi guys this error just popped up in my VirtualBox. After the error screen shows up, I press command+F1(I use a Macbook) and a command line comes to the screen that wants me to login. After logging in, i tried 

sudo apt-get autoremove 
sudo apt-get autoclear

then press command+F8 but same error still remains.

As you haven't mentioned the version of VirtualBox nor the version of the system you were installing, I'll describe the solution I've found for VB v4.1.12 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS guest machine.

This OS version was installed with X Server from quantal (12.10) and displayed error message about low-graphics mode. When you remove this error window using Esc and log in using console, try to uninstall current X Server from quantal from the guest machine:

sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal
sudo apt-get autoremove

As soon as this will be done, default core X Server will be installed automatically. If this will not happen, try to install it manually (including all its dependencies):

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core

After reboot guest OS should work properly.
