more info: I run Skype from a command line terminal and there is a
difference in the moment the 'probe' button is pressed:

Skype in FreeBSD as guest in the VM:

$ skype
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 1
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
Skype Xv: Using Xv port 56
Skype Xv: No suitable overlay format found
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Skype in the host:

$ skype
Starting the process...
Skype Xv: Xv ports available: 32
Skype XShm: XShm support enabled
Skype Xv: Using Xv port 416

Maybe this helps...
