cannot start guest services in VirtualBox

T

Hello everyone, I'm new to BSD.

I was trying to get X working on my machine but it doesn't start. I've noticed that during startup it stays that it was unable to start the vbox module. I tried to start it manually from /usr/local/etc/rc.d with ./vboxguest start and ./vboxservice start, but the first one returns

Code: 
./vboxguest: WARNING: Can't load vboxguest module.

and the second one

Code: 
VBoxService: error: VbglR3Init failed with rc=VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. 
./vboxguest: WARNING: Can't load vboxguest module.

I'm running VirtualBox 4.3.10 on OSX Mavericks, and FreeBSD 10.0. All the packages are the last version available. I have tried to deinstall and reinstall emulators/virtualbox-ose-addons, but with no success. I have installed anything with make install and portsnap(). Maybe something went wrong during the installation? I don't know what to reinstall, apart from this.

I have compiled the kernel with the options
Code: 
options      VESA
options      SC_PIXEL_MODE
to get the high resolution console, I don't know if this means anything.

Tell me if I should provide further information and thank you very much.

In /etc/rc.conf, are both these lines present?
Code: 
vboxguest_enable="YES"
vboxservice_enable="YES"

Yes, both. I noticed the line
Code: 
WARNING: Can't load vboxguest module.
in the dmesg messages, I tried to start the service manually, but it showed the same message.

How was emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions installed, as a package or as a port?

As a port, with make install clean in /usr/ports
 
No, the OPENGL option is off by default. Use cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-addtions && make rmconfig to clear all user-set options, then rebuild and reinstall the port.

I turned that on, I am pretty sure. I'm gonna try to recompile it disabling that support!
 
I've recompiled it without openGL support with make deinstall && make rmconfig && make install clean, but it still gives the same error.
 
You'll have to unload the old kernel modules and load the new ones. Restarting the services might do that. Or restart the VM to do that automatically.
 
I had the same error.
So.
Code: 
===> The following configuration options are available for virtualbox-ose-4.3.34_1:
  DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
  DEBUG=off: Debug symbols, additional logs and assertions
  GUESTADDITIONS=off: Build with Guest Additions
  MANUAL=on: Build with user manual
  NLS=on: Native Language Support
  PULSEAUDIO=off: PulseAudio sound server support
  PYTHON=on: Python bindings or support
  QT4=on: Build with QT4 Frontend
  UDPTUNNEL=on: Build with UDP tunnel support
  VDE=off: Build with VDE support
  VNC=on: Build with VNC support
  VPX=off: Use vpx for video capturing
  WEBSERVICE=off: Build Webservice
  X11=on: X11 (graphics) support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
So after it no errors /etc/rc.d/vboxguest start and /etc/rc.d/vboxservice start.
