*Some* recent upgrade, within last week, causes VirtualBox to crash X. openSUSE Tumbleweed (12.2) (current) NVidia-Linux-x86_64-304.32 upgraded VirtualBox to VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.22_80657_openSUSE114-1.x86_64.rpm kernel is kernel-desktop-3.5.3-40.1.x86_64 gcc is gcc-4.7-2.1.1.x86_64 Suspecting a problem with the NVidia package, I tried to reinstall the current 304.32 and got: ========================================================================= nvidia-installer log file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' creation time: Sat Sep 8 10:08:08 2012 installer version: 304.32 PATH: /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin: |\ /usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin/X11: |\ /usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/sbin nvidia-installer command line: ./nvidia-installer -a Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface -> License accepted by command line option. -> Installing NVIDIA driver version 304.32. -> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: -> 304.32).

The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kernel modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of the compiler used to build the running kernel. If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, select "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort installation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to compile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now? (Answer: Yes) ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. ========================================================================= What to do?
