OpenSUSE on MacPorts' virtualbox with funny mouse behaviour

Never thought about using VirtualBox via MacPorts. Sounds interesting. 

I would imagine it should work just the same as the VB dmeg you can download and install. 
Perhaps a different version or compilation issue. Worth checking your logs.

Already during installation in YaST I saw that there is some oddity, since I had to click every dialog button twice to really get it to react. But now I see that there is some fundamental problem with it.
