How to change modules and Xorg drivers when running virtualized

Hi guys,

I dual boot Windows and Arch Linux on my laptop, and I also find it convenient to be able to run VirtualBox from within Windows, pointing to my own disk, and run Arch as a guest OS there.  Generally this works, no problem.

When running inside VirtualBox, however, the perceived hardware changes.  Most notably, my physical graphics card is a Radeon Mobility, and I use the fglrx driver; when virtualized, it perceives a magic VirtualBox card, and I need to use the VirtualBox guest driver.

How should I set up xorg.conf to understand this and pick the appropriate device automatically?
