Apologies for thread hijack, but I wanted to suggest a solution to the 
Vbox guest addition + unity issue.

The problem is that the current PUEL version is not aware of the new 
multi-arch filesystem layout of the system libraries in Ubuntu/Debian.

Create the following symbolic link for 11.10 32-bit guest then reboot.

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri /usr/lib/dri

I don't have the 64-bit version installed, but I think the following 
should work:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri /usr/lib64/dri

AFAIK, this issue is fixed with the Ubuntu supplied version and in the 
latest OSE trunk.
