Suggest an nvidia use flag for the virtualbox ebuilds applying the following patch which solves the screen flickering on guests such as Windows 10 with 3D enabled.

Comment 1 Chris Smith 2017-07-19 15:18:21 UTC 
The previously attached patch is for virtualbox-5.1.24.
Comment 2 Jared B. 2018-01-16 06:16:51 UTC 
Thanks for the patch.  Windows 10 is pretty much unusable without this.

Please reopen if this still affects 5.2.x
