Ahhhh, I had not realized the Additions contained multiple versions of the X11 drivers.
After reinstalling, the screen was OK, but the mouse-integration did not work. I have corrected this by creating a new xorg.conf file as fiollows (as I remember it):
X -configure /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/x11config-new.pl --newmouse ./xorg.conf.new # remove commented sections and the "Files" and "Modules" sections cp ./xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
And than everything works as I was used to.

You need to reinstall the Additions if you upgrade from a 1.6 to a 1.7 server.
