Hi everybody,
Just a heads up in case somebody relies on VMware and is 'toying' with Factory:
Kernel 2.6.36-rc3 hit Factory these days and VMware is not yet able to cope with the latest changes; the various modules fail to build (again).
So in case you require vmware to work, better stay a few more days with the 2.6.34 kernel. Probably not too long to wait until an update appears.

The only change ioctl is now unlocked_ioctl in 2.6.36-rc3 onwards. slipstream:/usr/src/vboxdrv-3.2.8 # grep -rn unlocked_ioctl * linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:207: unlocked_ioctl: VBoxDrvLinuxIOCtl, # lsmod|grep vbox vboxnetadp 4915 0 vboxnetflt 14241 0 vboxdrv 1786307 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
Regards Sid.
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.
