I don't have a solution to your problem, but I'd just like to inform you
that Virtualbox works for me over "ssh -Y" to a server with:
FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE (GENERIC) #1 r314204: Fri Feb 24 15:28:33 CET 2017
virtualbox-ose-5.1.14_2
virtualbox-ose-kmod-5.1.14
this is with the display on a client with kde desktop and:
FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE (P142s10) #12 r314314M: Sun Feb 26 23:27:14 CET 2017
There are some complaints, but it works:
$ virtualbox

debug1: client_request_x11: request from ::1 12262

Bengt,
Thanks for the data point. Yes, I too got the "Failed to create XKB
context" and the fix is to install xkeyboard-config-2.20 AFAIR. The
libGL errors are certainly interesting, I don't see those. Will dig
down on that.
regards,
Ross

The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility
of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has
created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs
all around us and even inhabits our minds. -- Georg Cantor
