Yup, please remove it, I can also confirm that this confirm generates a
gdm/xorg crash loop in some macbook pro with Nvidia cards.

For some reasons it cannot find the right device drivers and fail to
choose a failsafe driver. Removing the xorg.conf solves the problem and
everything works.

I think we should not make any xorg.conf and just have default settings
via XFCE.

xorg.conf and virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 conflict

Bug description:
Seems like the barebones /etc/X11/xorg.conf which I added, and virtualbox-ose-guest-x11, may conflict. Having them both causes a x11+gdm crash loop when booting a live-USB on my Eee 701, the last message showing being "VirtualBox Additions disabled, not in a Virtual Machine".

IIRC, it was the xorg.conf which caused problems in aymeric's virtualbox and led to the addition of virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 in the first place. So maybe it's just a rubbish xorg.conf :(
