There should be a driver for vboxvideo in the upstream Solaris repositories. This will be fixed for the next release, but the fix will be simply to remove the warning message.

Fixed as follows:

Hi,

Nice! works for me.

The exact name of the package is xorg-video-vboxvideo.

that is "pkg install xorg-video-vboxvideo"
