So the cause is pretty clear:

(II) LoadModule: "vboxvideo"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module vboxvideo
(II) UnloadModule: "vboxvideo"
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

In earlier times, gdm/X.org used to have a fallback mechanism to VESA.
Perhaps it should just entirely ignore xorg.conf if it is faulty? Bryce,
do you think the latter option would be suitable, also for upstream?
