I tried to install Virtualbox from the openSUSE DVD. The installation
seams to be ok, but if I try to start Virtualbox I get an animated
cursor for some time and then nothing happens. For me it seams the
version on SUSE 11.1 doesn’t work at all with the distribution.

I don’t think Virtualbox is included in SUSE 11.1 DVD. I tried
searching virtualbox in YaST2 and it doesn’t give any results. So, I’m
not quite sure where you are trying to install it from.
Anyway, if it is in fact present on the DVD and you are having trouble
using it, try removing the current installation (using YaST2 or rpm -e)
and install ‘Virtualbox 2.1.0 for OpenSuse 11.1’
(http://tinyurl.com/8wrhnl) or ‘VirtualBox 2.1.0 for All distributions.’
(http://tinyurl.com/84hrzm)
Open terminal as root & install the RPM (if you select the RPM route)
using rpm command or run the .run file (if you select the all
distribution route).
I had similar difficulties when I tried to use VirtualBox on my
OpenSuse 11.1 RC1 installation. At that time there was no official
VirtualBox release for OpenSuse 11.1. So, I installed it using the .run
file and VirtualBox has been working fine since then.

I’m not sure how to solve your problem but I am currently using
virtualbox, so it’s possible to get it running. all I did was install
it and add myself to the virtualbox group and then do that extra command
to start it up I forget now what it was.

Add the account you’re running it from to the vboxusers group if you
haven’t already.
