I thought about that. However, the driver is now in Linux staging. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/vboxvideo And their DDX driver is officially hosted on X.org. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-vbox I think we should add vboxvideo.ko to graphics/drm-next-kmod and create a new x11-drivers/xf86-video-vbox port when there's a major release.
