Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Post jaunty->karmic upgrade, X fails to start (repeatedly, thanks to
gdm). Note that this is subtly different than bug 439551; in that bug, a
zero length xorg.conf was the cause of the failure. Whatever was causing
xorg.conf to get truncated to nothing has been fixed (though X probably
still handles an empty file poorly); in this case there looks to be a
valid xorg.conf (see attached), but X is still failing to start, due to
the vboxvideo module not being found (the guest tools/drivers are not
installed), and not falling back to use VESA.

Removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf entirely, makes everything start working,
I've attached the Xorg.0.log from that as well.
