Description
Last week Debian unstable (a.k.a. Sid) upgraded the X server to one which uses a different ABI version (version 2.) The vboxvideo and vboxmouse modules currently use ABI version 1. This ABI version mismatch prevents the vbox modules from being loaded, which results in the X server failing to start.
Additionally, the output of the "X -version" command has changed to the point that install.sh is unable to parse it (example below:)
guest:/var/log# X -version

I suspect this problem will start appearing in other Linux distributions as the new X.org versions get rolled out.
I'm attaching my Xorg.0.log file.
