I'm not sure where to start. I upgraded from xorg 1.4 to xorg 1.6. I
also followed the ATI Migration guide at

Everything seems fine except now Virtualbox 3.0.2 guest displays are
unreadable. Before the upgrade, Virtualbox displays were OK. Basically
it looks like when one has a bad modeline for X. If I click on the
guest window to close, I get a Virtualbox pop up asking if I want to
shutdown or power off the guest. When this pops up, the screen is a
slightly readable black and white version. Guest machines are Windows 7
and Windows XP. Both have the same symptoms.
Do you have the Windows vbox guest additions installed in the Windows
guests? If so, you should be able to resize the guest window just like
any other X window. Hm, not sure if the guest additions are available
for Win7 yet, but definitely are for XP. Worth a try, anyway.
