--- Comment #3 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> ---
On my previous post I did not notice, you are running mint.

I do have mint linux installed in VirtualBox. Mint linux comes WITHOUT
additions by default. To get any kind of acceleration you need to manualy
install additions. Other distributions have additions already installed by
default.

Easiest way is to use the VirtualBox "insert guest additons CD image..." me=
nu
then open and shell and navigate to the CD mountpoint (should be automounte=
d to
something like `/media/<username>/VBox_GAs_6.1.20/`) and run `sudo sh
VBoxLinuxAdditions.run`, then reboot.

You should get acceleration and all other additions goodies at this point.

This needs to be repeated when you want to update additions, for new virtua=
lbox
versions, for example.

Hope this helps.
