Well, here is the diff between the two XOrg.0.log files. I guess line
133 is the key one: seems like there is something wrong with the
VirtualBox guest additions. The same packages (4.1.6-dfsg-2~bpo60+1) are
installed in both.

(rc=-102) - make sure that the VirtualBox guest additions are properly
installed. If you are not sure, try reinstalling them. The X Window
graphics drivers will run in compatibility mode.
