here is my Xorg.0.log after installing Natty and virtualbox guest additions 4.0.4 http://paste.ubuntu.com/583935/
the crucial segment being this:
[ 8.454] (II) LoadModule: "vboxvideo"
[ 8.454] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so
[ 8.456] (II) Module vboxvideo: vendor="Oracle Corporation"
[ 8.456] compiled for 1.5.99.901, module version = 1.0.1
[ 8.456] Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[ 8.456] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 9.0
[ 8.456] (EE) module ABI major version (9) doesn't match the server's version (10)
[ 8.456] (II) UnloadModule: "vboxvideo"
[ 8.456] (II) Unloading vboxvideo
[ 8.456] (EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
[ 8.456] (EE) No drivers available.

I then edited my xorg.conf to add this:

Section "ServerFlags"
   Option "IgnoreABI" "True"
EndSection

which overrides the ABI check and downgrades it to a warning. Sadly this doesn't get much further as it ends in a segfault
