See URL.
xf86-input-virtualbox-4.1.4 fails to install vboxvideo driver for recent xorg-server versions (the only ones supported in Gentoo it seems) resulting in:

 * QA Notice: file does not exist:
 * 
 *      newins: vboxmouse_drv_110.so does not exist
 *      doins: 70-xorg-vboxmouse.rules does not exist
 *      doins: /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-input-virtualbox-4.1.4/work/VirtualBox-4.1.4_OSE/src/VBox/Additions/x11/Installer/50-vboxmouse.conf does not exist

Upstream seems to suggest to use the normal mouse driver.

Reproducible: Always

I should really test my Gentoo-VMs a bit more often. Sorry for all the hassle.

x11-drivers/xf86-input-virtualbox-4.1.4 was removed from the tree and >=app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-4.1.4-r1 will block x11-drivers/xf86-input-virtualbox package from now on.

Thanks for the report...
