There's at least two issues here.

One is that we're not shipping the native X driver for vbox video yet.
Last I checked this was because it's hidden away in the vbox source, and
didn't build against whatever X server we were shipping, and that vbox
upstream didn't _want_ it shipped externally yet because they hadn't
finalized the interface.

The other is that the kernel doesn't seem to be binding an efifb device
to it, and/or that it is and X is not noticing that and thus loads vesa
instead of fbdev.
