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.
