Hi David,

I tried again but I still have problem with the X11 integration.
The kernel module is loaded, but apparently there is a problem with the Xorg module.
This is the relevant portion of the /var/log/X.0.log file:

[    17.950] (II) LoadModule: "vboxvideo"
[    17.950] (II) Loading /nix/store/gxfk2bxk5z98k2kwnvp2apznr7gaz4wy-VirtualBox-GuestAdditions-4.1.0/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so
