Title:
  [Precise on VirtualBox] "Fatal server error: no screen found" in
  Xorg.0.log

Status in libpciaccess package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in libpciaccess source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in libpciaccess source package in Quantal:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Without this libpciaccess fix xserver-xorg-video-vesa will not function correctly in virtualbox or on Intel GPUs when vesa is forced (i915 not loaded in the kernel, as can happen on newer hardware without kernel support) when using the Quantal X backport stack that is in 12.04.2. 

  This requires 3 commits from upstream libpciaccess git, all contained in 0.13.1 that is in quantal, which is why the bug never manifested there.
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libpciaccess/commit/?id=f550c1347d3518874fe1c1d417a57322ee6b52db
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libpciaccess/commit/?id=b16336c0b389ace07f7418f5a021bfbc68fec2b6 (which fixes the previous commit on ARM)
  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libpciaccess/commit/?id=d2dc9f9daa45504f035b169aba94d0b154fd29f0

  [Test Case]
  Try to boot 12.04.2 in a virtualbox VM without guest extensions so vesa is used.
  If working, X will start and the desktop will come up normally.
