Description Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-11-17 11:13:58 UTC 
The elog message regarding the xorg.conf.conf (this is a typo, it should be xorg.conf.vbox) is outdated. The file comes with an input section for "vboxmouse" which is not used anymore as the drivers have been removed and everything is handled by the evdev driver. I think the only part that makes sense is to keep the screen section that uses the "vboxvideo" driver.
