RHEL7 on VirtualBox graphics controller

I have a RHEL7 VM on VirtualBox 6.0 which crashed right after a full update to RHEL 7.7, including kernel. Just typed "startx" (I usually make VMs boot into console), and it crashed immediately with a "Guru Meditation" from VirtualBox.

Taking a stab, I changed the Graphics Controller for the VM from VMSVGA to VBoxVGA, and it launched the GUI just fine.
