Thanks Alexey but no. Version consistent all across [~]>pkg_info | grep ose virtualbox-ose-4.1.8 A general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware virtualbox-ose-kmod-4.1.8 VirtualBox kernel module for FreeBSD [~]>VBoxHeadless --help Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 4.1.8_OSE (C) 2008-2012 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved. [~]>VBoxSDL --help Oracle VM VirtualBox SDL GUI version 4.1.8_OSE (C) 2005-2012 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved. [~]>VirtualBox --help Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.1.8_OSE (C) 2005-2012 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved. I always deinstall the previous version before installing a new one. I am far from an expert but It seems to me that it is a COM problem. If VBoxHeadless (or VBoxSVC) spawns an instance of VBoxXPCOMIPCD, VirtualBox doesn't detect it, or it does but "it isn't allowed" to use it, or tries to spawn its own and it conflicts with the current running, I don't know.
