For VirtualBox, after the change "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" builds and 
installs the kernel modules.

The NVidia driver is fixed in the Beta 260.19.06, 256.xx will not be 
fixed. I couldn't find out why the module build in 256.xx failed as nv.c has
#if defined(HAVE_UNLOCKED_IOCTL)
    .unlocked_ioctl = nv_kern_unlocked_ioctl,
#endif

I had to change the preceding line to
    .unlocked_ioctl     = nv_kern_ioctl,
Then "./nvidia-installer" in the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.52 directory or 
"make install in the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-256.52/kernel" directory 
builds and install the module.

Sid.
