The vboxguest kernel module for Solaris is GPL licensed and can't be included till it is changed. It appears that vboxguest is needed for the X11 and mouse drivers to work. I recently checked out the OSE SVN tree and managed to build the guest additions after a little munging around. However the vboxguest driver refused to attach in an Indiana RC3 guest and not much clue was available from logs. All relevant driver_aliases and name_to_major entries seemed ok. DTrace does not work inside VirtualBox and I have not yet done any printf-style debugging. I have not yet tried with an SXDE guest as well.
