Top posting because this is your obligatory reminder that a reliance of 3rd party kernel drivers is not recommended for Tumbleweed users
At least, not for those who can't handle those breaking deal. Once you know that you firmly depend on one or the other, you can play with zypper lock until the dust settle down.
This is clearly documented on the Tumbleweed wiki - https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed
The reason for this recommendation is precisely because of issues such as these - they happen and will continue to happen as long as the 3rd parties in question (Nvidia and Oracle/VirtualBox) do not keep up with the pace of Kernel development
Now I've said 'We told you so', I do hope this thread finds suitable workarounds for users who are affected, and if not, I'd strongly encourage the use of nouveau Nvidia drivers instead of the proprietary drivers, and the use of KVM instead of Virtualbox.

It is a good advise, but when you have a non "mass saled low end gpu" or need for professional reason truly 3D acceleration, nouveau is not enough. It was working great enough with my 4.5 year old quadro K2000 gpu (it has took time to get a good support, but it come), but nouveau is absolutely not usable on my new 6 month old quadro M2000M beside having 7 consoles. It need resources and time to run nouveau debug, improving the stack and so, the most annoying being the fact you have to debug on the hardware you would like to use for work. So be it «finger middle» nvidia driver ;-) About KVM/libvirt (which I'm a big fan from the beginning 7 years ago) I also try to use it most of the time (even running Windows from XP to 10 and Server edition with the virtio drivers, if you don't need 3D acceleartion). But there's also some reason to use virtualbox. It's when you need to prepare Virtual Machines and have to deliver them on various plateforms, where virtualbox is available. Perhaps I've miss it, but as I know, there's no way to run a qemu/kvm libvirt machine easily under Windows or OSX, isn't it ?
