You might want to give the PEUL version a try:

Older versions are here:

Note: before you do, be sure to backup your ~/.VirtualBox folder just in
case you need to restore.
There were considerable improvements since 1.5.6. I've found 2.0.2 to
work quite well. Others (Steven Davies-Morris) had problems with the 2.x
versions and had to stick with 1.6.6 on his system; so I'd start with
1.6.6, see how well that works for you first.
