I installed fresh FreeBSD-9.0 VBox i386 and amd64 guests.
Both of them fail to have mouse integration, mouse is trapped and window 
resize doesn't work.
Xorg.log gets such errors:

...
(II) VBoxVideo(0): VirtualBox guest additions video driver version 
4.1.10_OSE
(EE) VBoxVideo(0): Failed to initialize the VirtualBox device (rc=-102) 
- make sure that the VirtualBox guest additions are properly installed.  
If you are not sure, try reinstalling them.  The X Window graphics 
drivers will run in compatibility mode.

And many more times the same message.

Basically FreeBSD additions 4.1.10 are broken.
